I see you save a bunch of 50's. is there a reason why or just because they are old?

 

[Thorne]

Mostly because they are old.

Could you tell me what you use for electrolysis? I have some coins I need to clean this way.

 

[Thorne]

I took a 9 volt ac adapter from an old cordless Home phone snipped the ends and attached alligator clips one to each end. Clip one end to a coin the other to a metal washer. In q bowl put baking soda andwater and put the two end on the water. One will bubble a lot more then the other. This is the side the coin should be on.

Here's the setup

Thanks for the pic. I'm pretty sure I have one of those laying around the house.

Easy to make just use a junk coin first and test it out. Takes some tweaking. Ifyou use salt it works 2X's as fast. But risks burning the coin.

 

[drcaulfield]

Ha ha that looks like a shock hazard for sure

Nice to hear that other people are finding v nickels. Ive gone though a little over a thousand dollars of nickels and found my first v nickel two nights ago "1911". Looking forward to finding another in the future. Great job on all the nickel finds by the way.
