<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aslanmia, post: 335557, member: 11753&quot;]I had them soaking in oil for a few weeks, then I let the excess oil drip off them before I placed them in a colinder that I flattened out and lined with coffee filters (the closest thing I had to cheesecloth).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then I just placed the colinder in a boiling pot of water for a few minutes, rinsed them with tap water and distilled water, then patted them dry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like I said, I only had them in the boiling water for a few minutes and I didn&#039;t add much baking soda, but I did put in one old Indian Head penny that was pretty much all green. While in the oil, it went back to a dark brown colour, but after being boiled and dried it quickly went back to mostly green again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One thing that DID happen was a lot of dirt came off the coins and as you know that&#039;s not always a good thing, especially with pennies. In same cases it worked nicely... in others you can clearly see bright copper spots where the dirt used to be... not attractive![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
