Sometimes it does! I don't think I've seen yet a video of anything other than beautiful ancient coins being cleaned, that's why I wanted to include that sometimes they are too far gone to be saved.

Wow those coins came out very nice. I have cleaned a few myself; but I mostly clean the very low quality one and I have to reapply patina using Jax patina solution. I like your microscope, I use a USB microscope myself, the one I use is the Plugable usb 200x digital microscope, love that thing, I use it all the time when I conserve my coins and make videos of my work. Great job and keep doing it, take care and be safe out there.

@@SculptyWorks They are really easy on the eyes, since you are looking at your computer monitor then the ocular eye pieces which can really tire out your eyes; mine costs about $38 dollars USD so its not a bad price to give it a try, and i you wan to seen a sample of the quality, I have videos of me conserving aka cleaning some copper coins, and I just do some basic picture adjustments, but it was the best purchase Ive made for my coin hobby/business at least for me. Thanks for replying.

Next time use distilled water! There’s several minerals in tap water which can exasperate chemical reactions that the coin is going through.

can bronze disease spread to other coins if they thouch eachother or if you pick one coin with bronze disease and then touch another?

Yes it can. And I have heard that it can even spread to other bronze alloys if the pieces are kept in the same enclosed space even without touching eachother! That's some nasty stuff!
