[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 3208350, member: 93416"]Hello Insider Thanks for the thoughts We seem to be at cross purposes here. I suspect also that The ENTIRE COIN is crystallized throughout. But cleaning coins only requires dilute acids, and they do not etch metal. What they do do is remove encrustations and reveal all sorts of residual surfaces underneath. The soil is not a machine turning out coins with lovely patinas, or indeed any other consistent result.
