<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8228770, member: 27832&quot;]I guess the real question is &quot;how can you remove rust from an iron coin without damaging the coin&#039;s surface&quot;, and the answer is most likely &quot;you can&#039;t&quot; -- rust is going to leave damage where it&#039;s consumed the iron.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did get a jug of something from Lowe&#039;s that was a <i>non-acid</i> rust remover. In fact, I think it was prompted by a discussion here. I&#039;ll see if I can find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: it was from Walmart, and the thread is here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/water-damaged-rusted-morgans-how-to-restore.349463/page-2#post-3832675" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/water-damaged-rusted-morgans-how-to-restore.349463/page-2#post-3832675">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/water-damaged-rusted-morgans-how-to-restore.349463/page-2#post-3832675</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I got the stuff, but then it went over to my father-in-law&#039;s, so I haven&#039;t yet had a chance to try it out. When I do, I may hit my bicycle first, as it&#039;s in much worse shape than any of my coins, rust-wise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
