Make sure the coin being cleaned is exposed to both sides, either by turning during the soaking process, or by placing it in a way that will allow both sides to be exposed to the solution. While the coins are soaking, it often helps to stir a little to help loosen dirt. This is especially effective for coins with verdigris. Also, keep a lid on the container while you soak coins. This will help prevent evaporation. Copper coins sometimes turn a pinkish color after soaking for extended periods of time, which may not be desirable. To restore patina to a copper coin, place it in the soaking tray along with a coin that has verdigris (green corrosion) on it. Soak the coin for about an hour, then remove, but don’t rinse it off immediately. After about 24 hours, you should see some of the patina return. Another way to get the color to return after soaking is to slightly heat the coin evenly, until reddish color returns. If you overheat, then you’ll need to dip the coin in the cleaner for a few seconds and try again. Mint State works to loosen dirt, corrosion, and verdigris from dirty coins, however, it is still necessary to wipe or lightly scrub residue from the coin’s surface.
