[QUOTE="ND 41 Hunter, post: 293832, member: 1369"] Davey, First thing I do is try to make sure the coin isn't somewhat valuable. Then I soak it in hot soapy water and gently use a toothbrush to remove dirt. Then into the vinegar soak and more toothbrush work and finish by rubbing the coin between your fingers with olive oil. The vinegar will discolor the coin but the oil help get it back somewhat to normal. I've pulled copper (pre 1982) pennies that looked like new to green with patina to corroded beyond recognition. Zinc pennies can be eaten away be fertilizer quickly. [/QUOTE]
