<p>[QUOTE="riff, post: 1637346, member: 36853"]anyone tried this? i did it to a common peace dollar with horrible black toning all over and it really worked well. it was almost solid black, but now looks a lot better. placed the foil on the bottom of a pyrex dish, poured in baking soda, placed coin in, and pour boiling water over it. after about ten seconds, the ugly black was gone, now stuck to the aluminum foil. the side touching the foil gets instantly cleaned without any scrubbing, wiping, q-tipping, etc... i have cleaned jewelry this way, but wanted to see what it did to a silver coin. i didnt think to take a before pic, but this is after one quick bath note the reverse, it was the side laying on the foil: </p><p><img src="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss254/riff1060/IMG_50011_zps1f020e23.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss254/riff1060/b43ccbf4-6160-4522-bf96-6ad23f3c327a_zps91f466f3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
