mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 04/23/2016 8:57 pm Acid will clean the copper corrosion. Try baking soda, ketchup, or vinegar. Boil them for 30 minutes for both sides with above weak acid, and you will have a shining and cleaned copper coin. If you use a strong acid such as HCl, it need careful control of timing and strength of acid. Edited by mdrosophila 04/23/2016 8:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
