<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 24821103, member: 17665&quot;]I usually start early in the day when I&#039;m going to be home. I check the coin once an hour to see it&#039;s progress. Remove the coin from the vinegar and rinse each time and check the date. If nothing then go ahead for another hour and repeat. Yes, it can be time consuming but once a date appears you are set and lessen the risk of etching occurring. Some dates will rise quicker than others and much depends on what you are trying to get through to get to the date. If the coin is just smooth, then it will take less time. If trying to get through a lot of crud, then more time and you will need a soft bristle tooth brush to help things along. Mr. N above had a coin that was probably pretty badly corroded, which took so long. I will say, if a coin has a burned surface, like it&#039;s been in a fire is likely going to be a lost cause. Over worn coins may never yield a date no matter how long you try this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
