I don't think all of that on that coin is toning, I think some of it is dirt.
First of all - why ? I mean the coin is toned so the only thing they could possibly do is dip it to remove the toning. What do you hope to...
I agree.
I figured as much. The thing I worry about is the folks reading me saying "cleaning" and the whole time thinking I'm talking about "harsh...
I think the point you're missing here is - who designated them as SMS to begin with, and why ? One day the coins were MS, the next SMS - the exact...
Whether it works or not depends on each specific coin, and how you define "look better". Some coins they can make look better, other coins they...

The difference is in the finish of the coins. Burnished means polished, so with the burnished versions the planchets are polished, with the...
The easiest, and most effective, way to do it is with gasses.
A final suggestion for you, change the name of your website to - Sell Your Coins Near You. Strictly my opinion but I think doing so would go a...

The thing that creates confusion more than anything else is the TPGs' misuse of terminology ! If they would stick with long established and...
Both are equally possible. But I suspect the latter is more probable.
Enough with the epithets ! Continued use of them will result in the thread being closed and or infractions issued to the offenders !
