<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 1904283, member: 2098"]I had nothing but bad results when I put lemon juice on some unclean ancient Roman coins 10+ years ago. From what I can recall, the lemon juice turned the coins white and made them look awfully unnatural. I believe they were bronze but one or two may have been silver as well. At any rate, the coins never recovered. I would stick with distilled water or an alternative method but I would avoid lemon juice at all costs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
