<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 612116, member: 15110"]a paper flip in an old wood dresser- I have an old antique desk and this has worked well. People say put in a paper flip and tape near a light bulb- need heat and some humidity to accelerate. An album would do fine as well, but slowly- Dansco album. There is some combination of heat and humidity needed, nobody knows so you have to start conservatively and go from there. Someone told me to use a plastic flip and oil the coin and tape to window sill. I did on some keys and carbon spots broke out almost instantly so I will never do again except on junk. I say do a paper flip, but albums are more fun since you can look at the coin and safely monitor for any changes without risking sliding out of paper flip and potentially dropping the coin- done that myself so I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
