Restoring Buffalos

I read somewhere you can use vinegar to restore Buffalos. I gave it a try and results were unexpected. This morning they were coming along fine, and by after work tonight this is what I got.


3 days in vinegar gave me this. They is almost no detail left on coins.

HOLY COW!!!!!! Those are weird coins, sure they weren't fakes?

 

Im sure. I dont think there is much money in fake dateless buffalo nickels

 

I remember when I put my coin in vinegar, no problems

 

Yummy! Did you try tasting it?

 

never had that happen, and i've left some in white vinegar for several weeks...

 

How long was it in there for? where did I go wrong?

 

Looks like caviar on choclate disks.

 

maby two to four days. there was only one.

 

What was the acidity of the vinegar and what kind of vinegar was it?

 

white vinegar 5% acidity

 

This is either really interesting or a great troll.

 

You think im a troll?

 

No haha. I'm just intrigued.

 

yes, please let me cross the bridge.

 

I did add a pinch of salt

 

They toned up nicely. should I sell them on Ebay as monster rainbow toned?

 

Burn them. They have been though enough.

 

I think fire is the only way to kill whatever is on them. Do it before you destroy mankind with your super-virus.
