KirkTN said:could you please explain the peroxide method. The results you show are amazing. Awesome finds.
Though I am not the author of this method, I did it the other day from what I read. Here it is: Put a small amount of peroxide in a glass container, enough to cover your coin plus perhaps 1" more. Put it in the microwave (without the coin or metal !) for about 1 minute. Then drop the coin in the heated peroxide. It bubbled like crazy for a long time. I left my coins in overnight. Next day I took the coins out. Then I took a Q tip and gently rubbed the loosened grime off. And each time, the q tip would get dirtier. Before long, I had a clean coin with none of the fake look that vinegar and salt would leave. The method is awesome. Bryan
