The ammonia will help remove some of the left overs on the coin. It is really great at getting stains off silver. It also won't damage the silver which is good.

That coin must have laid in some corrosive soil!
I'll have to try electrolysis sometime!

That crust was from 100 years in salt water! See Robs posts about the Shark Pit and the cookie coins that he finds there. You can see how they look when he finds them from my first pic above. Rob sent me this one along with the sharks tooth and a hat for winning his contest. It really is an experience getting that shell off of the coin.

Thanks Rob! It's a different experience getting to slowly find out what's under the crust! A lot of fun!

Hay Rich have you tried brown vinegar and salt, and let soak for a day then brush then soak some more. I had a chine coin that was burned up badly, and I soak it for a few days and it clean it up.
