[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 829405, member: 15199"]Since I approached this with the idea of an alternative to Intercept(tm) technology, and since I was sure Lucent technology had done various experiments in their original patents and decided to stock with copper, I would also. Not quite sure of the counterfeiter connection though, unless there was some confusion on the role and treatment of the sacrificial cent used. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion as you say through a selectively permeable membrane (biological or manufactured). The sacrificial cent I showed in the original post continues, after about another 2 weeks, to show it is still working, with the exposed surfaces getting a slightly deeper tone, and no noticeable changes in surrounding coins. I am making a batch to go into the Safety Deposit box and safe, as all they can do is to help. The process will not remove corrosion or toning, but it can help prevent it, or if you have toned coins you wish to keep in that specific condition and no more so, it can do that also, IMO. There are many comparison type of experiments that one could do: different metals, different holders, vs. real Intercept(tm), under water, etc., but I have no interest in that as I have what I wanted, so others may wish to proceed :) Thanks for reading, Jim[/QUOTE]
