Had a few folks as me how I have been getting my Indian Head's to look so good so I decided to make a video showing the process.

I'm going to try this. I've been using electrolysis and I don't like the results.

It seems the peroxide cleans better when it's real hot so I watch for coffee cup heaters on yard sales.( The kind you plug in and set on a desk). They work great to keep it nice and hot and usually cost less the a dollar

Thanks for the vid, i'll give it a go tonight.
Yes, I can confirm that it works and can give nice results. If you aren't patient you can try stronger version of it - typical hydrogen peroxide has about 3% concentration, but you can obtain (well, at least in Poland I don't know how it looks like in US) 30% one. It's stronger, but you also should be careful since it can give you a nasty chemical burns. First time I wasn't careful enough and few minutes later skin on my fingers was white and it was a bit painful

I will definitely give it a try. Have some old two piece buttons to clean up.

I forgot to ask, and maybe the vid told but I don't have speakers to listen right now, but I'm wondering how effective it'd be with a handful (or more) of coins. Or is it best to do one at a time?

One at a time is better unless you use a lot of peroxide at a time.
It takes a certain amount of peroxide to react with the oxidation on each coin depending on the condition of the coin.

I was afraid you would say that...I ran all my clad through a HF tumbler and they're brown/dirty still (mostly due to me not changing the media often enough). Guess I'll be stocking up on HP .
