[QUOTE="Louie_Two_Bits, post: 589376, member: 17748"]Ok, I finished my yard work and as my kid was swimming, I decided to make an electrolysis coin cleaning system that I saw on the Internet. So I grabbed a 6v adapter, alligator clips, a glass of cold water, a teaspoon of table salt, and a stainless steel spoon. I know you never clean a coin, but I wanted to use this on some of the coins in my personal collection that I will never sell...just to give them better presentation in my dansco albums. I used a random dime and here are the results after 5 minutes. IMHO, this low-voltage coin cleaning system was a success :thumb: It cleaned up the coin to have nice eye-appeal, but did not make the coin look unnatural. But judge for yourself. I will try this will other U.S. coins as well to see the differences (cent, nickel, quarter). -LTB[/QUOTE]
