[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1840667, member: 36248"]For junk silver bullion coins I think they look slightly better after the bath, but how the OP or the person selling the coins could think one or more of them were MS, I can't fathom. Plus on coins worth melt, I'm sure it's fun to experiment and see what works and what doesn't. I don't think too many new people would read this thread and think "gee, I should so this to my 1921 High relief".

I say experiment away! The point about EDTA is interesting, you should give that a try. My only experience with EDTA is as a food preservative.
