[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 108707, member: 487"] I tried the BiCarb method on these Florins but it did not work, I think it's sap from the pine tree the coins were found under, then I thought of "Gumption" after cleaning the shower the other day. Both coins were in a similar condition, the one I cleaned came up pretty good, still not perfect though, now it can age gracefully again. Also tried it on a 6p which was resting against a 3p for a long time and removed the circle metal stain also. Not bad stuff for cleaning very dirty and discoloured coins, I think a very fine clay with soap might do a similar job, I wouldn't use it on really valuable coins but worth a shot on stubborn stains. Took about 20 mins with a scrubbing brush too. The Japanese used fine clays as the final polish on their top Katana swords.
