It is best to use a slow-reacting solution, such as a 5% dilute sulfuric acid solution, which gradually washes away the surface of the ancient coins damaged by rust and leaves the intact parts undamaged. The length of time a copper coin is immersed in solution depends primarily on the surface state of the coin: i.e., the degree of oxidation.
The darker and thicker the oxide layer, the longer the soaking time should be. Heavily oxidized copper coins can be soaked in solution for several days and nights, while slightly oxidized ancient coins can be soaked for only a few hours. During the soaking process, the dissolved oxides can also be washed with a soft cloth in a stream of warm water so that the solution can better act on the newly exposed rust layer.
When washing, you should remember: wear rubber gloves and wash the ancient money in the solution with tweezers. After cleaning, the quality of ancient coins can be improved, but you should be mentally prepared for the corrosion pits and scratches exposed after cleaning.
And with the passage of time, the ancient money will still blacken and reappear oxide, so it is especially important to pay attention to preservation.
Coin preservation: These types of coin must be packaged in a single piece. For gold, silver and copper and other coins, the texture of these types of ancient coins is relatively soft, rubbing against each other will inevitably cause certain damage, and as far as gold, silver and copper and other currencies are concerned, the most susceptible to scratches and scratches is the relief part, so in order to avoid similar situations, it is best to choose the packaging of the model that matches the size of the ancient money, and for some relatively thin and crisp ancient coins, cotton wool, paper and other things can also be placed as padding.
Of course, in order to strengthen the protection measures, special means such as vacuum packaging and nitrogen gas can be used to slow down the oxidation rate of ancient coins.
