<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 828646, member: 4552"]Sort of like Conder101 said. Do not use Aqua Regia on anything. As to the suggestion of taking a photo of yourself with the coin, good idea if you do use the Aqua Regia. One splash and you'll have something to show the reconstrution doctors at the hospital. Fumes given off may also not be exactly what your lungs would appreciate. </p><p>Electrolysis and almost any thing else you attempt will more than likely be really a waste of time and money. If that coin was plated with almst any procedure, the atoms of Gold will have penitrated the surface and create a real mess removing them. Note that an attempt to reverse the process properly would mean the method would have to know which atom of what is to remain and which should stay. This is on the verge of a fantastically new method. My suggesetion is to just leave that coin alone.</p><p>Not sure if listed there but prior to using any possibly dangerous substance, go to teh ATSDR web site.
