<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3914098, member: 15199"]MS-70 had those that liked it and thought that shiny cents were better than original cents. Things seem to have changed since the 60s, when these were readily available, but they emphasized clean and shiny rather than original and natural toning. Silver dollars and minor coinage were treated badly with strong acid dips, and Five cent pieces with the various nica-coin solutions. I think most people who were greatest fans of MS-70 were unfamiliar with modern chemistry and had memories of mom and grandmom spending a lot of time shining up the silver. They used cyanide solutions then also, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031669[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031670[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031671[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031672[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
