[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2809194, member: 71514"]Two months is but a nanosecond on the geological and ancient coin cleaning scale. They can take months and months and sometimes years, seriously. Re-reading my post, I might have come across as terse. If so, I apologise, I didn't mean it to be. There are people who ask all the right questions, get the correct advice and then go and zap the poor buggers with electrolysis, ending up with a poor scrappy bit of metal that is neither use nor ornament. When soaking, put them in a tub of distilled water, put a lid on it, leave the tub where you might walk by it several times a day. When you walk past, give it a shake. You change the water when it becomes cloudy. This may take a couple of hours or days. Don't put coins with suspected bronze disease in the same tub as BD free coins.[/QUOTE]
