Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 7:18 pm In the event you are unfamiliar with what FR refers to, here's the entry for electrolysis from Numiswiki: Electrolysis Also referred to as zapping, nuking, or frying; electrolysis is a poor method for cleaning coins using electricity. It can be useful if done properly by a practiced expert but as a tool used by amateurs the results are usually dismal. Report this Post to the Staff
