<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2384842, member: 33176"]I thought I saw some lightening, perhaps wishful thinking, but I thought... Prolonged soak won't hurt it. Go for a day and see what you get. In the meantime, get some pure acetone and try that next. A word about EZest...it "modifies" the surface in that it turns silver sulfide (and maybe silver oxide) back into silver. Now the new silver might not adhere to the surface, but you will have lost some of the schmutz that you are trying to take off with your soaks. Let me reiterate what I was saying about using the EZest. 1) put the coin in a sink where hot water can hit the surface and inundate it with hot water for 30 sec or so 2) remove the coin (wash your hands first) and use a cotton swab to dab some EZest on the problem areas and only on the problem areas 3) return the coin to the hot water stream and repeat as desired 4) give it a distilled water rinse and pat dry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
