Some photos would be helpful here Nassif... , but I have a Parthian Drachm, which was crusted with copper... I used a combination of lemon juice, vinegar, electrolysis, baking soda + aluminium foil, and VERY much picking with a dental pick... it was long and frustrating process... nothing seemed to work very well, but a combination of all the above got rid of 99% of the glued on copper in the end... I have circled the remaining copper on the photo...

  That said, I am no way an expert on silver... so perhaps someone has a better method than " everything"  ;D ??? ;D

 Best wishes,

 Lee.
