I like the marine in gallons but it is a bit pricey for me now and I no longer have a dust free studio or enough work space. Coins took over the bit of...
OK, I tried it. Thanks again, Bob, for the suggestion. I did as you suggested, and got a nice quench sound when it went into the ice water. Then I zapped...
I use the copper clips also, and I said that my coins don't turn black. Let me clarify that. While the are cooking the tips of the clips turn black and the...
Jerry, I have read your excellent article. My next anode will be similar or identical to that design. I always have questions, of course: Is there a downside...
Wonderful question Robert! If you know anyone who can silver solder the wire to the anode that would be great. I had something silver soldered at a small...
Anodes disssolve into the solution. Stainless steel is commonly "18-8",18% nickel and 8% chromium, metals that can interfere with the procedure. Iron is...

So, I purchased another 50 coins from 5 different sellers on ebay and have decided that they dont put metal disks for customs sake. These are not coins I am...
Great James! Please keep us posted as to progress. I encourage all ancient coin buyers to learn what kind of return policies the vendor(s) have. That...
Could you do some before and after pictures? I am interested that you state these coins are like rocks. It have found it is hard to find coins that are...
As always, I'm way behind in my group email... I've done this with freezing a coin and dropping it into boiling water, didn't do much for me but perhaps with...
Sounds great Ben! Wonder what would happen if one "slow cooked" the coin using a potpourri pot and the SC? God Bless.. Jerry..  <font face="arial...
Watch out for even the Premium coin lot of crusties. I just bought 30 Very crusty, they are all around the 28- 34 mm size Zapped, Bamboo, brushed, ALL 30...
Hi Ron, I never buy anything that is that size any more, because of the same thing you are saying. They were really crusty, some were clumped together and...
Ron, I don't think I know of any seller who will accept returns of uncleaned coins after they have been cleaned, and certainly none who would consider return...
Will do Ron! Ron, when making a "guaranteed deal" I would work with the dealer on non-zapped coins. If you clean three totally encrusted coins then place...
Dan I understand that, and I don't do refunds on stuff that has been opened or modified as I sell more than I buy. But he stood behind these as Premiumand...
Wow will I get in trouble, use a pressure cooker. My mother did not hear that and please don't tell on me.. Barbara ... From: Jerry Jones <jceaus@...>...
Sorry Ron, I didn't know they came with a guarantee of 65% detail! That seems just a bit silly of the seller, as I thought the whole point of crusties was you...
There is another reason to accumulate very uncleaned coins; that is to find methods of restoring them with minimal loss of detail. I don't regard a coin as...
So I was out shopping today and I just happen to run across Super Washing Soda!!! I went to every store I could think of trying to find this stuff and...
Hi James, An interesting finding, and it would be great to have an answer to the blackening puzzle! I'm assuming you're using a graphite anode. Even though...

Dr. John; Super Washing Soda is 100% Sodium Carbonate. Normally in the detergent section. Here is a picture of the box. I got at Wal-Mart, don't know if they...
Great news James! It sounds as if you are convinced the lack of pure SC is the culprit.. I encourage those who are not using the 100% SC to follow his...
Hi Ron, I think maybe you tried to attach an image to your post? Seems Yahoo discards attachments... so to show us a picture, you could create yourself an...
