<p>[QUOTE="lakebreeze, post: 107235, member: 2720"]That's quite an array of experiments you've tried which worked the best and which was the worst?? Since I'm not really interested in pennies I tried some tarnex on an unciculated common date, well thats not the answer, it took the darkness out of the coin but it looks very washed out, I think I dipped it to long. Also tried it on 2 pennies that had black dusty looking crude on them so bad that the date was not readable, those I dipped for a long time and some of the crud came off but the reverse turned coppery and silver color. As luck would have it and the date now readable they were dated 36s and 33d. Oh well the dates were unreadable before the dip anyway. I heard WD40 works I'll try it on one coin and someone mentioned the elec.tape, I'll try that to. I got about 50 rolls of wheats in a box with other coins at an estate auction otherwise I never would have got them, I dont like pennies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
