<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 510127, member: 16510&quot;]<b>Dip, dip, dip it!</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Dip it, </p><p>get a good modern coin dip, put a cup of plain warm water next to it, next to that put a cup of distilled water, put a little (just about 1/2 gram) baking soda in the warm water, using plastic spoon or plastic tweezers lower the coin into the the dip but keep the coin in the spoon (during this process you must maintain a way to hold on to the coin with something that will not let it drop in the dip or get any of it on your skin or otherwise Mar the coin) for 1/4 second, put the the coin in the warm water baking powder solution still holding the coin in the spoon, for 1 second then rinse in the distilled water, blot dry with a soft cotton towel or rag pressing down on the coin but not rubbing it. Do not get the dip on your skin or breath the fumes.</p><p>Never let the coin sit in the solution and don&#039;t let it drop - if in the coin is in dip for more than one second the coin might be ruined.</p><p>Only to be attempted by adults and only realizing you are doing this to improve and otherwise unusable coin and only on silver, silver clad or modern clad coinage.</p><p>This process is a perfectly acceptable way to clean/preserve coins and when I said 1/4 of a second I meant it.</p><p>Hope this helps,</p><p>Ben, (do it often) time Peters[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
