I will not say on what to use I will leave that to some others. But, I wouldn't want to use any acid like vinegar. __________________ Chase A Byrd Coin Collection | www.byrdecoins.tk Member of the ANA, GNA, RCNA and WINSociety Never, Never, Never Quit ~ Winston Churchill   10-10-2009, 04:59 AM   #3 (permalink) Ripley Senior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: California Posts: 993 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 Ultrasound it.
