Thought i'd share. This is a coin that someone split vinegar on it or cleaned it in the past (i could smell the vinegar when i got it wet).

This is what happens to it after a while. I cleaned it using my method (spit and scrub with tinfoil) which preserved the color and tiny bit of original black patina that the vinegar hasn't eaten. It must have been cleaned 10+ years ago as it did not come out shiny and started to re oxidize.


the bumps you see on the cleaned image are bits of foil still on the coin. the big scratch is what my carpet did -,-
