Amen to that....the reverse field hit and spots should have kept this out of 66. NGC stinks.
Very nice....I've never even heard of a "ragged clip". Thanks for sharing.
No offense, but you are obviously not a chemist. I'm not sure why you're trying to make up your own science, but your chemical theories and...
It's pretty cool! My only suggestion would to have it pause longer with the coin full screen so we can check it out closer. It moves too fast to...

Sage advice! I agree 100%.
Because H2S is a gas and it's everywhere and it's highly reactive. Not to say that other forms of sulfur such as sulfates, sulfites, etc. can't...
Mark - It would darken it but I think the "mirrored" surfaces would show underneath the toning. I suspect it would look better than the OP's...
