<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 3070579, member: 33176"]Recently I retrieved a very nice Mercury dime from a bathroom sink trap where it had fallen two or three years ago. I was wondering what the toning would look like, but it was just sooty black without any redeeming virtue. I did dip the coin carefully, but the toning was so deep, by the time it looked like a dime at all, it had lost any claim to luster it might have had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
