Thank you for trying this product out, so we don't have to. Always enjoy your videos. Take care.
Glad it could help - and thanks for watching!!
I use this product. It helps a lot with thick, hard crust. But, you still have to scrpape and do the hard work of scrapping the coins with a pin and other tools. The dirt won`t come out only with soaking the coins in.
Good tip! I'm curious, have you found that it changes the patina color to pink in some cases?
Awesome review 😊
Looks like the active agent in that is some amount of citric acid. Maybe I am wrong, but the coin where it destroyed patina exposing the copper looks like something you would achieve with some lemon juice. I recently cleaned an very incrusted antoninianus that had its silver layer in tact, but also some very thick copper incrustations. I decided to use lemon juice as a last resort. Normally I do not use any acids. So tested and confirmed, lemon juice is ok to use on silver coins, it loosened and removed the copper incrustations. After that, I decided to see what's gonna happen to a hopeless coin of Gallienus which had no silvering left, and the result I got was exactly like one on the coin that you showed with partially dissolved patina.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s good to know that the results I got are consistent with other’s experiences - I can confirm it smelled like citrus mixed with mouthwash.
Love it!
Thanks!!
Nice review ! i have one question, what product do you use daily ? i start restauration too but I don't have good results for softening the dirt
Hard encrustations that aren't dirt are about all that this stuff is good for but it's less aggressive than electrolysis! Soft dirt will always be a hand tool job.
Yeah - I might test it on something more extreme - possibly diluted but still, it seems risky haha
Can you use an ultrasonic cleaner device on these?
Wouldn't recommend it based on my experiences trying.
Hi Nick, hope you’re good
You too!
Cheers mate, enjoyed the video 👍

My first experience was similar -- not much help,other than removing corrosion, which left the already-damaged coin surface exposed. I felt like it did more harm than good to coins with a healthy patina to start with.
Interesting! Yeah besides using this as a last-ditch effort for “lost cause coins” idk if it’s worth it
If the product has no references... it's not what real archaeologists at a university use.
Exactly why I think testing these products could be helpful for new collectors, who might be misled or misinformed by sneaky marketing.
@@historyathomeOf course. I think it might be worth inquiring about the professional solutions, I heard watchmakers also have their special conconctions for cleaning clockworks. I can imagine a fine oil should be able to crawl under an oxide layer while keeping the pH neutral.
Don't put any chemicals on roman coins, Just soak them in distilled water over night, And clean them the hard way, It's so much fun🙂.
I agree
I thought using these cleaners was taboo?
Hopefully this video further demonstrates why.
