Black Coin Coating [solved]

5 posts • viewed 181 times

Hello! I currently have a problem with some coins, and help would be greatly appreciated . They have a black layer on their faces, and I can't seem to get them out. I have tried vinegar and baking soda and it seems to have worked for the nordic gold coins, but the copper coins remain resilient. I have tried soaking them in hydrogen peroxide for six hours, but it seems to have failed. Thanks in advance! 

 

Environmental exposure  issues - going to be hard and or impossible to remove it unfortunately.  

 Agreed. Looks like it was in a fire, so the composition 

of the metal may have changed, so is more than surface damage 

and may not be possible to remove. Will see what other members think.

Hello.  I wouldn't draw fire to it, it really is the environment.  Here is a sample of cent coins with gas stations.  the entire bottle was delivered to me by a truck driver neighbor somewhere from a gas station in Europe.  Coins in diesel, gasoline and dust were thrown into the can.  She showed: I have them Momo reach collection for research purposes under the microscope.
