Give the aluminum a little bit of a crinkle on the bottom, so that it is not perfectly flat. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and baking soda around the edges of the baking pan, leaving the center of it free of either. Boil some water in a pan (enough to completely cover the coin in the baking dish), when it comes to a boil add a couple of pinches of baking soda and a half pinch of salt. Let it boil for a moment so the baking soda and salt dissolve into the water. Lay the Peace Dollar in the center of the baking dish face down, the side that needs the most work should be facing up. Then pour the boiling water over the Peace Dollar. Let it soak for a couple of minutes without moving it. Then use some silicone tongues or other safe device to remove the coin without burning or harming the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>This method uses a bit of electro chemistry to remove debris from the surface. It is safer than using dip. Just make sure you don't let the coin come in contact with granules of salt or baking soda. You can lay a toothpick in the bottom and let the coin lean on the toothpick, that will help prevent any scratches from possible salt or baking soda. You need part of the coin to make contact with the aluminum foil, or the electro chemistry will not work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
