    1. Head down to Bunnings for some TUFFMAN plastic buckets and thick gloves.

    3. Bath in some green stuff. That's gotta help.

    4. Get out the high-pressure hose to clean off the chemicals

    5. Blowdry

    6. Brillo pad / pot scrubber. Use the rough side with nice long strokes.

    7. Might as well buff it a bit too.

    8. And finally spray on the secret sauce.

    An easier way would be to just boil an egg. And just pack the coin in the York overnight

    Yep, I've had some interesting results with that method. It's a fun thing to try if you have some misc silver lying around.

    I have this YPS skull and 1oz tombstone sitting in its little cardboard coffin for a couple of years and it is starting to show some very nice coppery toning:
