<p>[QUOTE=&quot;libertyseated, post: 210916, member: 8137&quot;]These two were in a uncleaned lot of 100 I purchased around a year ago. After several months of picking at what seemed to be a granite boulder, I gave up. the rock encrusted coins were still rock encrusted. 6 more months go by and I pull them out of the distilled water, start picking and still the same, Not a bit of rock is comming off. Never have tried the &quot;electrolysis bath&quot; cleaning method so I figured why not, I can see great detail in a few spots.</p><p><br /></p><p>15 minutes in the bath and 20 minutes picking ( X 5 )!</p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, A shinney Maximianus AE and a Licinius Jr.</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT TO SHINNEY!</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought some dell&#039;s darkener and here ya go!</p><p><br /></p><p>I still use the &quot;soak and pick&quot; method and will not use electrolysis for dirt encrusted coins but for large outcroppings of rock that will not budge after a year.... Nuff said!</p><p><br /></p><p>I know there are many mixed feelings on the use of this &quot;shock bath&quot; method and do not wish to start a debate.</p><p>Just showing off what I thought were going to be, 2 junk box coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
