<p>[QUOTE="Jim C (Mich), post: 395972, member: 3092"]Peroxide won't get that crude off. Only way to get that off is to buy some arm and hammer washing soda NOT baking soda. Line a 6X9 glass pan with aluminum foil fill two thirds to the top with boiling hot water. Put in 3 big tablespoons of the "washing" soda. Plop in the coin until the fizzing stops. The green blob will be gone whats left of the coin underneath will be shown. Most of the time under the blob of green it is pitted pretty good. Sometimes but not many, you get luck and it comes out ok. Thats the only way I know how to get those blobs that look like that off with the least damage to whats underneath.
