<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 7394486, member: 75143&quot;]I regret to inform you that I have turned myself into the Numismatic Police for the abuse that I subjected this coin to. </p><p><br /></p><p>While riding the high of the Trajan that I recovered from the depths of Hades, I decided to &quot;improve&quot; the appearance of my boy 7Sev. Nothing can stop me. I&#039;m a superhero.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1286592[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1286593[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a denarius. Looks pretty good. But, there&#039;s a bit of horn silver, which just won&#039;t do. What is a man to do but to toss it in sodium thiosulfate? Sounds reasonable, right?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1286590[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, this didn&#039;t work. So I then grab my mad scientist&#039;s collection of random chemicals and dunk it in everything I can find. It just keeps getting worse and worse. At one point, the coin turned completely black and nothing could recover it. I even applied Tarn-X which just made it look even uglier.</p><p><br /></p><p>At wit&#039;s end, I took some Hagerty Silversmith polish and the results are....not great.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1286591[/ATTACH] </p><p>Hilariously enough, this coin now looks totally fake. Amazing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson: sometimes it&#039;s best to leave good enough alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
