<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 405790, member: 12965&quot;]Acetone is used to remove crud, not corrosion, and I don&#039;t think peroxide will do anything to corrosion. It usually takes an acid of some sort to remove the corrosion and virgin olive oil is acidic but I have used vinegar on real bad corrosion but you have to be on top of it to make sure it doesn&#039;t hurt the coin. With olive oil, it can take months of soaking to get it off, so it&#039;s hard to hurt the coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: Electrolysis can also be used but it always depends on how bad the corrosion is. With Ryan&#039;s coin, the bulk of the corrosion is gone, if not all of it, so what may be left can probably be removed with a soak in olive oil for a few months or a few minutes of electrolysis.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
