<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 523637, member: 4552"]I have a few suggestions. For one you could try what I'm presently attempting with coins that were either waxed or polished with who knows what. Presently a Walker Half and Mercury Dime. A few more soon. I simply soaked in Acetone for a few weeks and in the Sun. Then is a jar of distilled water for a few days. No exact time taken. Now on a kitchen window sill standing up or rather leaning against the wood part of the window. I suggest a kitchen window due to the different foods that are cooked and in the winter most windows are closed. They were extreamely shinning when I first put them there and after several weeks, again forgot to time this, they are starting to tone down. I haven't tried this for a while with Copper coins but that is next as well as a few redone or replated 43 steel cents. </p><p>You presently have little to loose so try that.</p><p>Some time ago I also tried gun bluing on a Copper cent that was extensively cleaned. It did work to a degree but I'd caution using it on such a coin as that one of yours. You might want to do the same with something like a 1910 and then the gun bluing to see the results. </p><p>However, as long as your not in a hurry, try the kitchen window.
