[QUOTE="klinga, post: 35740, member: 1532"] I posted a method of using a glass dish, put your coins onto of a piece of aluminium foil not covering the whole dish, just enough for the coins to sit on, fill with boiling water and then put lectric soda flakes on top (a couple of tablespoons) leave for 15-20 mins, the recipe then says brasso but I'm not sure how needed it is. I did a 1920 penny in it last night and it was pretty successful. It just depends how corroded the coin is to begin with as to how well it comes out. On the advice from another forum member I tried cloudy ammonia which worked well too. The couple of silvers I've found came up great just massaging some bi carb soda into them with a bit of water. Nugget, how about forum topic for cleaning coins/relics with before and after pics? I'd be happy to do a few experiments! [/QUOTE]
