<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ralph Mlaska, post: 3338162, member: 101033&quot;]I am giving away secrets here! I told you about the 10% vinegar to 1 %&nbsp; peroxide solution to restore a date .&nbsp; Now you have done that , got the date but the whole coin looks like a ghost , Now what?&nbsp; What you have is a coin with micro pits from the acid making that ghost look. Over the years ( and I have been doing this a very long time) I found two things that work , one better than the other. The first one is simply a dab of tooth paste and a soft tooth bush. That works well enough. But if you want to bring the coin ( Buffalo Nickel ) !&nbsp; Never never on silver ( Metal too soft)!!! To bring that Buffalo back to life and a more natural look I use Mothers Brazilian car cleaner wax&nbsp; ( liquid not paste) and a few Q-tips and cotton balls. Put a dab of the wax on the coin softly work it in with a Q-tip . Depending how bad the micro pits are you may need to do it two or three times. I wont tell you how far to go with this, that is up to you! After you get the coin looking how you want it, finish it with another small cote of wax. Let the wax dry then softly buff it off with a cotton ball leaving cote of wax on the coin especially between the letters and date. Helps your found date stand out. I use self sealing flips. Seal it up and it will get better ( more natural look) over time. What ever liquid wax you use make sure it is carnauba not a chemical wax, it just don&#039;t work well. done right it may be the best looking coin you have. That has got to kill the purest ( Don&#039;t do anything to a coin Thing) .. There it is the final result of years of trial and error and it works well. now you have taken a worthless no date coin and turned it into something, it value is simply what you think it is...</p><p>P.S.</p><p>If you run into a bad alloyed coin and the acid left stripe marks across the coin . the wax solution works well for that also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
