[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3964193, member: 78298"]I know what the melting point of copper is. There are other chemicals involved but it doesn't take 1085 degrees Celsius to remove 20 microns of copper plating. The plating is removed without melting the zinc. Sodium hydroxide - 10g Sulfur - 15g Add water to 100ml First, boil for 30 minutes to dissolve the sulfur. Then, put the penny in and run it at 185-205F to convert the copper to copper sulfide, which is a loose coating that is easily removed. There is even a You Tube video showing the process.[/QUOTE]
