[QUOTE="UniqueDesigns, post: 2171117, member: 17654"]Set ups for a Ball Jar electrolysis 9-12 volt cleaner can be found on YouTube. You can build your own for a few dollars, if you have an old converter box from a gadget charger, which are up to 12 volts. Hang a piece of silver from the Pos. and your silver coin from the Neg. in a warm salt water solution. (copper w/ copper) The attached layer of whatever is on that dime should dissolve off easily. Any material harder than the metal your coin is struck on Will leave marks, no matter how careful you think you can be.
