[QUOTE="Piston_Broke, post: 95381, member: 3666"] Hi, Has anyone tried using a micro blaster to clean the muck off the surface of a coin ??? Yesterday I found my 1st coin (yay !)....a 1977 Aussie 1 cent piece. Found in my own backyard not long after assembling my unit & giving it a test out. Being as how its not a valuable coin I thought I'll give the micro blaster a go & maybe take some before/after pics to compare ? I'm thinking of taping 1/2 the coin up then blasting the exposed half under low pressure (say 2 bar on the compressor ?) using a non abrasive like 250 micron spherical glass beads....then ripping off the tape to show the difference.
