Oldschool's finds 4/22 @ town hall

Here's Randy's finds from the town hall site day before yesterday. !865 2 cent and 1863 patriotic token. Anyone have any ideas how to get the green crap off the 2 center. From my experience it doesn't come off, but if anyone knows a way I'l like to try it. Thanks. hh all. Dan

TWO nice digs! Congrats. The best thing you can do is soak them in olive oil for possibly months. Then pick what you can off with a toothpick. Other methods to get it off will make the coin look bad.

Nice coins, if ya want to get the patina off ya need to give it a bath in hot peroxide. If you put it in olive oil there will be nothing more you can do to that coin ever! I have seen more key date coins ruined by oilve oil than almost anything. I do most of my coppers that I get in the peroxide and have had great results. Start first by using a non key date wheatie then when you feel confident go to the 2 center.

Straight peroxide, and Q-tips work wonders!

Re: Oldschool's finds 4/22 @ town hall

Congrats on the finds I like using the hot peroxide method on my non key date coppers as well,but just a word of caution,you may want to consider doing this in the garage or outside where you have plenty of ventilation. I have had people in my house complain that their noses start burning,even if I do it in the basement.When you heat the peroxide and drop a coin in,you can see the gasses escaping the container.I'm no scientist,but I would venture a guess that if it is strong enough to make your nasal passages burn,it may not be good for you to breathe them.So just as a precaution I will do this outside from now on and would advise anyone else to do the same. Thanx all and HH Rookie2
