I put them in olive oil and put the oil in a pan on the stove and heat to very hot, then turn down heat and just leave them in there for an hour or so.
Wipe off the green crud with a slightly damp cloth. Probably not all will come off the first time so put coins back into oil, heat up again and leave in for a few hours. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
This is really working great on my old coppers!
No damage to the coin at all!
Enjoy!
