Electrolysis, at it's most basic level, consists of running an electrical current between two contact points (the anode and cathode) in a salt-solution. This causes a chemical reaction that removes the layers of dirt and encrustation from the coin.
With electrolysis kits becoming more and more affordable (decent ones can be had for under $50) now is the time to start tidying up your collection.
In the previous posting I covered how to build your own kit. You can also find a good overview of the process - as well as another guide on how to build your own electrolysis kit - at Cleaning Silver and Gold Error Coins
This method of cleaning coins should give you the best results in the shortest period of time.
