My question is does it reduce the value of the coin? I found a few coins in some of my mamaws old stuff she was going through and got a few 1964 kennedy half dollars and a couple 1941 Walking Liberty half dollars. They are black beyond beleif and you can't hardly tell what they are unless you look VERY close.</p><p> </p><p>I've read about the baking soda/tinfoil/hot water trick that is suppose to work and im not sure if it does anything to the coin(as far as hurting it). I've watched some youtube videos of people doing and it looked pretty promising.</p><p> </p><p>Any idea if this will decrease the value or damage the coin in any way?
