Basically I found a Nazi coin with the swastika and the date covered up, which is no good to me! I need to see a date! So I took to the internet as I always do and typed in how to clean zinc.
How I cleaned the coin:
1. Squeeze lemon juice into a little tub
2. Put the coin in
3. Wait 6-12 hours (6 hours should be enough but I took it to 12!)
4. Brush off the juice with a tissue
DONE
I did the one coin then I ended up soaking all my Nazi coins! Worth a try if they're in really bad condition! I never clean coins because I know it ruins them most of the time, but if they're in awful condition what have you got to lose?
Before and after, and my little lemon juice tub
