[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 535033, member: 2972"]That is simply not true. Remove the sulphur and/or humidity, and the coin will stay as-is forever. My recommendation -- leave the coins as-is. If the OP wants to experiment on copper, don't use these coins. Find cheap common coins to play with (for example pre-83 lincoln's) before trying to strip and recolor a coin. Even then, the coin will likely look worse rather than better after a stripping and recoloring. All IMHO & respectfully submitted...Mike[/QUOTE]
