Sometime ago I posted a pic of 25 the terribly corroded pennies I had received from a friend.

This picture is not the same exact 25 pennies. However the pennies were corroded and very scrungie and something most of us wouldn't want to touch.

After the famous baking soda and boiling water treatment the pennies turned out to be quite okay.

Hello...New guy here...

I have used a microwave and Hydrogen Peroxide method...which is outlined by another guy here at Coin Talk http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=28546

It works pretty well also...

Nice job!

microwave!?!?!?! doesnt it blow up or spark?

Oh Dustin, you just *want* it to blow up or spark...

(gee, don't know what would happen... sure don't want to ruin my new microwave trying it).

Nice job!

Thanks Deguello... it was fun doing the project and I got a lot of nice coins from a lot of nasty pieces of metal.
