[QUOTE="Harryj, post: 577400, member: 14623"]Stainless steel has chromium which prevents the steel from rusting. The steel wheaties don't have chromium, and are zinc coated steel. The zinc helps the steel cent from corroding. The tarn-x may affect the zinc coating so I wouldn't use it on a nice steel cent. However using it on already corroded ones like you have is fine because more than likely the zinc coating has worn off the cent.[/QUOTE]
