<p>[QUOTE="JayV, post: 989307, member: 27170"]Hello,</p><p> I've dug a bunch of non-special coins while metal detecting, and while I know cleaning is usually not a good idea, these are not valuable in any condition. I decided to try electrolysis to do some cleaning, and was not completely pleased. I'm posting a few pictures of a 1976-D cent that was in for 10-minutes. Can anyone tell me if these results are typical? Would longer be beneficial? Was 10-minutes too long? Is there another technique that would have been better? I know that I need to smooth down the teeth on the aligator clip (marks seen by the second "A" in "AMERICA"). I know the pictures aren't the greatest, but they are about as good as I can do with my camera. Thanks, Jay</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]95314.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]95312.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]95313.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]95311.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
