<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 202554, member: 4552"]Are you sure it is corrosion? Try describing it's appearance such as color, amount, dates of the coins in question, etc. Note that there are many different types of contaminates on coins on different types of coins for different years where the material of the coin itself is different. In most instances if the so called corrosion is a chemical attack on the metal itself, removing the contaminate will remove some of the coins metal. I suggest you don't try to remove it unless you know what your dealing with. Place such coins in as much of an air tight container as possible and the reaction should stop but the present situation will remain. If the coins are not very valuable you may want to experiment with such things as Acetone or other such chemicals, however, again I suggest you not to mess with them since may end up doing more damage than good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
