I'm ready to electrolyze this "V" nickel because I don't think it's going to progress anymore in the O O, but I have a few ??? about this:

Will electrolyzing it ruin it anymore than it is now?

I think I have uncovered star #9; and I can see "CENTS" on the reverse, and some of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Is there any method known that would restore the areas where the copper is showing?

A friend once suggested that soaking a nickel in Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid would make the copper seep back into the coin and restore the nickel component...anyone ever hear of that method?


I think that the remaining dark staining has that copper hue underneath it...this coin is worse than I initially thought it to be. .

Not sure if that dark material is laying on top of the nickel, or if it has eroded into the metal.. eyesight is not so keen anymore.

Thank You for any suggestions that you can offer.....

You can then see whether that junk is on the top of the coin or embedded in it. There is really no way to restore a coin once it has begun to deteriorate. The only thing you can do is to clean the parts you can clean and accept the rest for what it ends up being. When you cook the coin, do it in short 2 - 3 minute intervals and then clean any scaling away that the electrolysis lifts for you. I believe that some of that grime on top of liberty should come off with the electrolysis. Not sure that the copper toning will disappear for you.

With the exception of the war nickels which were 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese that has been the composite for the nickel since its inception in 1866.

to see if it is corrosion on top of the nickle or if the nickle is corroded away enough to expose the copper underneath. If the corrosion is on top of the nickle(not just the coin), then you should be able to PATIENTLY clean away that corrosion and see your cleaned nickle(coin) underneath. If it is exposed copper that yer seein then you risk the chance of chippin away the nickle and endin up with just a badly corroded copper piece.
I hope that makes sense to ya.
