Here's another question for everyone. I've been thinking of the best way to clean my coins without damaging them. Then last night my girlfriend comes running in the room saying "I got it". I guess she was watching one of those home fix-it channels. She said lemon juice and salt works wonders on copper. So she cut up a lemon grabbed some salt and cleaned a junk penny I had laying around. My eyes almost popped out of thier sockets, it actually worked. Yet, the coin looked funny. No luster, just a totally clean copper penny. And I mean copper, kinda yellowish. If ya don't believe me try it on a penny. Cut a lemon into wedges, dip it in some salt and rub the penny again it. Please tell me what you think? Beats spending money on acids and restoration liquids. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thx</p><p><br /></p><p>Ron[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
