<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1112168, member: 5036"]I have found that the best kind of vinegar for buffs is apple cider vinegar. I wait until there is just a small bit of blue sludge covering the coins then they get rinsed in hot, hot water. The dates, mm, horn, details should all be present at this point, which takes between 4-7 days. If not, clean out my container start over, if nothing after the second time, then the nickel is too far gone to ressurect. Never let the liquid completely evaporate, the remaining acid, will permanently stain, discolor, the nickels various shades of blue, green, or copper color. Subsequent treatment in vinegar won't remove the staining.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
