If the coin you are talking about is whitish, it could possibly be one of the zinc coins. Zinc coins are extremely hard to do anything with in my experience. the Coca Cola soak is sometimes successful due to the presence of phosphoric acid in the drink and also to carbonic acid in the carbonated water. Phosphoric acid is also found in Naval Jelly (if you know what that is). If the coin is pretty well gone, nothing much can hurt it. Try boiling water, try soap and water, see if they do some good...BTW a good scrub brush for coins can be made by cutting the bristles of a toothbrush to half length so they are stiffer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
