<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 8277411, member: 15199&quot;]Jim, In reality the toning is a chemical change on the surface of the coin, it is part of the coin. So any removal of toning will remove part of the coin surface.&nbsp; What will be the&nbsp; effects is hard to predict, but the more time/chemical strength of the substance used affects the outcome. The instructions that comes with the solution usually do not mention this, they want you to use full strength, but it can be diluted with distilled water for a one time use, as any used should be discarded rather than put back into the bottle. The less the strength the more time you have to observe what is happening. I usually start with 1part chermical : 9 parts distilled water, This gives a very slow reaction ( swirl every so often)and you can easily stop it , rinse, dry. and then re-submerge it if it needs more. I just mix enough to cover the coin plus a little more with EZ-EST or other dip. Just remember you can&#039;t reverse it.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; If the coin has been dipped before, the surface ridges may&nbsp; have already been reduced and doing it once again may remove the tarnish, but it will appear flat in shine, no cartwheels. So each coin may have a different chance and result. Best to limit it for coins less than $______what you can afford.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
