<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1511210, member: 15199&quot;]Not all would agree, but it is the sentimental value, not the numismatic value you treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use a silver like EZest Silver dip but pour a small amount into a clean container, as it is a mild acid, and dilute it with 3 parts water so the reaction is slowed down. Wet the coin with water and immerse in the dilute solution, with the worse face up. Swirl the container and watch until the amount of black is something you can live with.If the black still remain, use a small amount of the dip straight ( I just put a gloved finger into the solution and touch the spot). Then rinse well in water and allow to air dry. I then personally rinse with acetone and hold it by the edge until air dry ( few seconds). Then store in a inert holder. If you don&#039;t have such chemicals, just put it into a zip lock food bag, squeeze excess air out and zip it. It will stay the same for years, and the decision doesn&#039;t have to be hurried as what to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
