Place in warm distilled water for a few days. </p><p>If nothing, while wet rub real <b>lightly</b> with your fingers. Wash fingers first of course. If still pretty bad, try a real mild solution of baking soda and distilled water, again, real lightly rug with that solution and rinse with the distilled water. Some may also say Vinegar, molases, Olive Oil, tomato juice and other miscellaneous stuff in your kitchen. </p><p>If still no big help, then the Acetone might be something to try but don't forget your now purchasing something for about $5 that you may never use again and if no results, add $5 to the loss of that coin.

[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 556465, member: 4552"]First of all your talking about a coin of approximately $15 or more in the worst grade. If you attempt to clean it and mess it up, your out at least $14.75 of that.;) Maybe a little less. Regardless, if your unhappy with the so called corrosion, start with the simple methods and safest first. Place in warm distilled water for a few days. If nothing, while wet rub real [B]lightly[/B] with your fingers. Wash fingers first of course. If still pretty bad, try a real mild solution of baking soda and distilled water, again, real lightly rug with that solution and rinse with the distilled water. Some may also say Vinegar, molases, Olive Oil, tomato juice and other miscellaneous stuff in your kitchen. If still no big help, then the Acetone might be something to try but don't forget your now purchasing something for about $5 that you may never use again and if no results, add $5 to the loss of that coin. Now in the minus value wise. With these processes you have at least stopped those reactions for now at least. Continuing further attempts to clean off corrosion may well leave the coin with pit marks so would end up being a coin for show and tell for some kid. ;)[/QUOTE]
