[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 4509651, member: 73995"]With copper I use distilled water first, then I will rotate olive oil and water until the corrosion has mostly been removed. It sucks but you will have to do a little bit of picking at the edges to get some of the corrosion. Here is a medal that I dug up a couple years ago. It had a lot of corrosion. [ATTACH=full]1117698[/ATTACH] The reverse is still slightly unreadable but much better than it was. Also neither distilled water or olive oil will change the tone or color of the coin.
