Anyone have a cleaning solution for old coins? Have a couple of old Roman coins that are black with crud that I can't get off. Have tried jewelry cleaner for days, the spray carburetor cleaner and bore scrubber. Not much luck, need some help.

Tarnex from the hdw store.

Thanks T LEE, will give it a try. The missus gave those coins to me, from the spots I have cleaned, I see they are copper coins. Decided to quit scrubbing before I messed them up. If that Tarnex will work, they ought to be pretty sharp all cleaned up. Thanks

It does, just be patient and follow the directions I have used it on bunches of stuff even silver coins that have been in salt water for years.
