<p>[QUOTE="Aaron Apfel, post: 1880257, member: 67415"]Thanks for your reply guys. I've had a couple of my bad(ish) ones to test soaking for around 3 days now (replaced the water daily) and from what I can see it is working quite well. After a few hours I can see the crud infested parts of the coins are definitely reacting to the demineralised water as It seems to turn into a white'ish color . I am seeing more detail each time when I change the water and lightly brush the coin too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a picture so you can actually see what the reaction looks like:</p><p><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/2qdv89l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>My phone camera isn't great, but you can see the reaction happening there.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see there is a reaction going on, I'm just not too sure at this point if it's going to damage the coins at some point.

[QUOTE="Aaron Apfel, post: 1880257, member: 67415"]Thanks for your reply guys. I've had a couple of my bad(ish) ones to test soaking for around 3 days now (replaced the water daily) and from what I can see it is working quite well. After a few hours I can see the crud infested parts of the coins are definitely reacting to the demineralised water as It seems to turn into a white'ish color . I am seeing more detail each time when I change the water and lightly brush the coin too. Here is a picture so you can actually see what the reaction looks like: [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2qdv89l.jpg[/IMG] My phone camera isn't great, but you can see the reaction happening there. As you can see there is a reaction going on, I'm just not too sure at this point if it's going to damage the coins at some point. For now I'm just leaving my better coins to soak in olive oil as I know that works (even though it takes its time).[/QUOTE]
