<p>[QUOTE="msucog, post: 5330688, member: 116857"]The first one I did a while back is here while I was figuring out the process. There are a few after that I figured out what NOT to do...it is very easy to accidentally copper plate them or plate over corrosion. This one isnt great but it helped me identify what tweaks I needed to make. These are the same coin. I've since changed my setup to a much more effective approach that removes the copper plating issue. I think you can actually see a hint of copper on this one. I had two after that that I let go way too long and they ended up entirely copper plated...reversing that is really tough. My intent is to harmlessly clean the coin and not alter it...and these are only for my collection, since I'm not a seller at this point.</p><p>Heres a before</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225419[/ATTACH] </p><p>And after of the same coin</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1225420[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
