[QUOTE="Orange Gold, post: 933130, member: 26348"]Pretty successfull. I actually got a large amount of the blotches gone.. the coin looks good the only mistake was using a chemical cleaner for the tarnish it got rid of the luster and the copper tone. the blotches are gone leaving little brown stains.. steps: 1. soap and water scrub 2. boil (water, salt, vinegar, dish-soap) 3. add coin 4. leave coin in... air pockets form under coin causing it to vibrate (also makes a cool loud clinging noise against pot)... The vibration seemed to have shaken off some of the blotch spots. 4b. (the blotches should now have turned from green to brown) 5. soak in vinegar and dish-soap 6. soak in bleach (this step seemed to accomplish nothing) 7. Hook up 2 wires to a 6v battery.. touch the wires on the blotches to super-heat the blotches.. (any clumps were burned and flaked off now) 8. light brown stains remain.
