[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 6298786, member: 102103"]I would suggest finding a few junk bin iron or zinc coins and do a test run on coins you don't care about to make sure you are happy with the results. In general, if your metal has corrosion, a cleaning is not going to fix that. The corrosion itself damages and roughens some of the underlying coin texture, so even if you could chemically reverse the reaction (which is possible), the surface is never going to be like new again. If in doubt, better to leave things alone.[/QUOTE]
