nullb0y:
my friend has an ultra sonic ill ask if i can use it
erictrumpet:
I kinda like the patina.
Why ruin vintage tokens by making them look shiny and new?
Soak them in soap and water to get rid of dirt and grime, but leave the oxidation.
If they are raw brass, they will turn green/brown again in time anyway.

Ken Layton:
I use C-L-R all the time for cleaning our brass tokens from the movie theater. Soak brass in the CLR overnight. I've done copper pennies in CLR also and it works, but you only leave the pennies in the CLR for 10 to 15 minutes. Then rinse in hot water.
