<p>[QUOTE="Scubalou, post: 20131456, member: 101267"]I'm using cleaning vinegar. I'm not sure if one is better than the other, as I said I get a half-gallon at the Dollar Tree - $1.25 now. I just take an old glass jar (pickle, olive - some small jar). I just throw them in and walk away. I don't fill the jar (again, because I'm cheap) I just fill it about 3/4 of an inch above the coin. I usually check them in 3 or 4 days, take them out rinse them out dry them and check them under the scope. I've been reusing the same vinegar (because I'm cheap). After a couple of weeks if their is no progress the vinegar turns a blue green color I may break down and put in new vinegar - maybe. Time is on my side. You need to sometimes turn the coin over. The side that's up gets more action than the one facing down. I just soak until I can read the date and the MM. I'm not looking for perfection - just want to make out the date and MM. Hope this helps. Lou Oh yeah just one coin per jar more than that and they seem to get worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
