    I remember rubbing a Sacagawea Dollar on the driveway curb to remove one side of the Coin. I don't recall which side it was. Yes, I was tired of burning ant hills with my magnifier.

    Not a coin, but a bronze US Mint medal with corrosion that was a basket case anyway. In my infinite 18 year old wisdom I dipped it in nitric acid and almost asphyxiated myself from the putrid greenish smoke. Really dumb move on my part.
