<p>[QUOTE="Mark Metzger, post: 4411590, member: 86472"]After a fairly successful experiment with a 1920 Pilgrim Commemorative earlier this week, I decided to apply the same technique to another comm. half from the same lot. This one was also in a little brown envelope for god knows how many years. I dipped it for a total of about 4 seconds. My technique is to put the coin on a spoon and dunk/lift 10 times consecutively. On each dunk, the coin is submerged for a fraction of a second. By doing this, the solution washes over the coin repeatedly but ever so briefly. I then immediately rinse and pat dry. </p><p>The coin in question here was rather dull and tan. Also very dry.
