<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 414957, member: 15116&quot;]Well, I just thought I&#039;d try to run with the &quot;big dogs&quot;, but it seems I&#039;m not ready yet. I chose my ugliest coin,a really blackened, dinged and nicked centennial quarter. I had visions of a bright newly minted transformation. I even bought a squat little glass jar for the experiment.</p><p>&nbsp;First I held it in the grip of plastic tongs, and swirled it for about a minute...not much change..maybe a little brighter. After about 4 minutes of swirling the acetone around the coin and not much change, I dropped it to the bottom and roated the jar like a washing machine for another 5 minutes. The result was a slightly less balckened coin, but the &quot;silver&quot; areas were now likened to pewert color. I rinsed it well, but no change. The final product looks like it might have seen a fire!</p><p>&nbsp; The teller gave me a Kenney Half (proof) but one side is totally black. This quarter was a test run. Think I need to test some more quarters![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
