Its quite simply really and is VERY EFFECTIVE. To clean coins, fill a shot glass up with peroxide and microwave for about 20 seconds. Put coin into peroxide and let soak for about 30 minutes. IT WILL BUBBLE PROFUSELY but that is GOOD as it is cleaning. Repeat process several times while cleaning with a toothbrush inbetween soaking sessions. THIS IS A VERY QUICK OVERVIEW Note, don't forget to take coin out when reheating solution for a second cleaning or you will see fireworks in your microwave :P Private Message me if you would like some other techniques and tips

Here are some examples I posted--when I was sold on the method.

Also imbedded in my post is the link to Don in SJ's original post on the subject. I think he may have come up with the method...

It works well on coppers, but is there a method for nickles? Will peroxide work for nickles?

 

[ugotit22]

the only prob. i have is it seems the coin turns alittle whiteish, and gets a weird shine to it, almost like a shadow

Nickels are tough. Lots of folks have had good results with the salt and vinegar method. Others have also had good results with Lime-Away (although I have had mixed results personally). Check the cleaning and preservation threads...

I'll try to find the link for you if I get a chance--but perhaps someone else will post it in the meantime. PM me if no one else posts it and I'll get it for you.

On not valuable nickels, when they have turned RED, I use salt and cider vinegar, ( not white vinegar) when they turn nasty gray color, I put them in aquarium gravel in my tumbler for about 20 minutes. They come out looking like regular circulating nickels.

another tip, if you require more than one soak in the peroxide, use fresh peroxide each time, do not keep re-heating the old stuff. Peroxide is super cheap, change it and it cleans way better

It really works!!! I will show you guys one of my corroded wheat pennies that i found with my tracker IV metal detector a long time ago. Then I will show you a cleaned up version after peroxide for an hour. I am doing an hour because the date is still not readable. This makes a big difference though! After 30 minutes...I can see lincoln in the front again and see a 19_ _. I can also see one cent on the back with United States on the bottem. I am so happy
