<p>[QUOTE="Charles Brooks, post: 3963689, member: 94453"]Everybody keeps saying "heat" That is kinda ridiculous Because zinc melts BEFORE copper (Zinc-419.5 degrees Copper-1084 degrees)! I am a life-long (44yrs) exotic metals fabricator and believe I know what I am talking about here. I have stripped the copper from zinc pennies many times and it has been done with almost any type of weak acid. I have used lemon juice, vinegar, CLR, and diluted sulfuric (battery acid) and they always come out looking EXACTLY like this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
