I wouldn't use it on a coin that nice but Barkeepers Friend and a lot of rubbing would likely take that tarnish off.

Nope. Didn't touch it. Tried it twice.Originally Posted by del link=topic=13689.msg144664#msg144664 date=1373270019
Nope that ain't gonna happen either lol I may try corn cob as soon as I can set up the unit. Almost every product out there contains some kind of micro abrasives. They all scratch the surface, the trick is to make the scratches smaller than the eye can easily detect. thumbsup01Originally Posted by z118 link=topic=13689.msg144675#msg144675 date=1373282814

For tarnish I have used this succesfully,
In a glass bowl put in strip of aluminum foil, place coin on top and use two tablespoons of Arm&Hammer washing soda, that is not baking soda but a product for enhancing detergent. You can find it where they sell detergent for laundry. Then completely cover the coin and soda with BOILING water, light shake bowl to dissolve all the soda. Let stand until bubbling stops. Often tarnish will come off in chunks, you can gently use a tooth pick to facilitate this. Repeat as neccesary.

Great Finds guys !! All the Coins look great. Congrat's on your 1st capped bust ! The Indian head is a beauty also especially for an early year . Is it a Bold N or a Shallow N ? It's hard to see from the picture. George, is that your oldest Copper ? How did it clean up ?
Yea, I hear the bugs are bad this year. Haven't been out since the spring so it's probably just as well if the bugs are that bad. Ticks and Mosquitoes are my worst enemy, so I think I'll just wait til the weather changes. |
Congrat's again. Take Care.

2014 Finds : Inactive for Now
I told you guys I would clean it up some time around 2020 lol It's Ok but kinda rough. The oldest copper I have is probably pre 1700. I think I found a French coin a while back that was pretty old. Condition was not great on that one. I have quite a few Geo 1st, so early 1700's for sure. I'm not sure if Dan's Indian is shallow or bold strike.Originally Posted by Sal66 link=topic=13689.msg147143#msg147143 date=1376280467
