<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1541024, member: 2098&quot;]I must give a stronger discertation on using electrolysis. I used electrolysis a lot ten years ago and it did much more harm than good. It would clean up all of the dirt but would often eat away at the bronze without it being realized until it was too late. Also, electrolysis leaves the coin exposed to just its bare metal. This takes away the coins patina and leaves it subject to oxidization from the air. This is where you must learn how to create a sealent for the coin. I have heard of people using honey and baking the coins in their oven. I never had any success with creating a sealant so I was left with several electrolysis coins developing chronic oxidation problems. I had at most two coins that I can recall where using electrolysis was beneficial. I have many more to look at which have had their metal eaten away or have suffered recurring corrosion issues. My conclusion and experience from using electrolysis is that it is best left to the professionals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
