<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3193374, member: 19463&quot;]Few things are 100% reliable or 100% anything else.&nbsp; Lets just imagine that your scary method worked on a <u>silver</u> coin but the one you were trying to clean was less than 100% silver so you only destroyed the part that was other metal.&nbsp; If it gives off smoke and sounds like a comedy routine, you are correct to be afraid.&nbsp; Your drachm is as close to pure silver as any ancient coin so it has a better chance of surviving your routine than most but the chances of your being happy with the results on your first try are far from 100%.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After you have tried this &#039;several&#039; times, let us know how it went.&nbsp; Perhaps the correct amount is one drop or, perhaps, none at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is not 100% certain that coins you buy that look good will not deteriorate because they were treated in some unknown manner by a previous owner but you have a better chance if you buy coins that look good as they are and leave the process to those who have done it several <u>hundred</u> times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
