I always use the simple method of tin foil and saliva method. Sounds gross but it works great. Used on my merc I found yesterday and my 1906 barber dime from awhile back this year.

Not quite clear what method was used on the pics of the coins posted. Did you change from your standard method of spit and tinfoil to the electrolysis this time? Re-read your post and tell me if I'm not crazy.

Spit and tin foil is a form of electrolysis. The chemical reaction charged by the tin foil cleans off the oxidation
