<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 987158, member: 23626&quot;]The only thing I had that worked was to lay the dimes in an aluminum foil lined dish and pour a boiling solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda with 1 tablespoon salt in 1 cup water over the dimes. It is said <b>&quot;this will ruin them&quot;,</b> but for common Mercs, it removed the residue and I could watch the black tarnish melt away as the chemical reaction worked. But these were common Mercs that were in bad shape. I didn&#039;t scrub any at all. Rinsed in acetone and blew dry with compressed air. Cleaned them up pretty well, but it did change the appearance. Although for the coins I used, it was an improvement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
