[QUOTE="Ciscokid, post: 34460, member: 1932"]OK, I'll go against the grain since ima in da mood :D IF this coin is a specimen you really like and will lets say keep, AND you want to "restore" it, AND want to get it slabbed legit, I would perhaps recommend that you send it to NCS, they do great work for preservation and will forward your coin to NGC and they will grade it and encapsule the item-- If however this coin "has no value" and you wanna play---I have this "stuff" called e*Z*est COIN CLEANER--FOR COPPER-GOLD-SILVER- Which doz a maaarvelous job of removing toning OF ALL KINDS--Unfortunately, it also does what everybody here has said--the luster is lost forever--But boy, the coin sure looks nice--cartwheels and all :D However, I have yet tested this stuff on a PROOF coin--yet hehe You might ask me, well how do you know this :confused: Well I tested it on a 1997 SAE and a 1922 Peace dollar(s)-- Your next question might be, Well why did you do this dumb thing?? Well to be honest with you; to teach myself what happens to a coin in the chemical reactions, and to confirm that luster doz go to pot--And to teach myself and see "live" what a "cleaned" silver coin looks like afterwards--Now you might say "was this an expensive lesson"?? You bet it was, was it worth it?? o yea-- :eek: My last suggestion and this you definitely do not wanna use---Don't use Brasso--Boy that stuff works great, definitely gets rid on the "milky spots" on SAE, but boy, look at cleaning job magged up... :mad: Any ways , I hope these post gives ya options, But in the end my recommendation?? Either send it to a pro OR sell it if you no like it-- :cool:[/QUOTE]
