Default I have some right here in the kitchen.

Crystal uses it to clean around the house. Haven't tried it on any coins. Just a second and I will let you know.

Default The results are in

I would not recommend using Kaboom myself. The first pic was before with dirty penny, the second pic was after 5 minutes and the third pic was after 15 minutes. Sorta pited and discolored Penny. Maybe I did something wrong but these are my results.

Default thanks

I think boobies idea is the best for nonvaluable coins.Also i see the test penny was a 1978 i still have to wonder how it would work on an older coin.I have some old pennys that are in pretty bad shape so i'll have to give it a try.But if anyone could figger out how to say turn an indianhead penny that has turned green now that would be somthing as i have some that are in exellent condition if they werent discolered.Any iventors out there ! could be worth a fortune to patent such a thing.

Default Having some minor difficulty.

Neither one of my scanners are working.. Must have lost the drivers. Have to reinstall. Will post later.
