<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 963720, member: 15199"]I am sure it would as it is sulfarmic acid, citric acid, and detergent. Sulfarmic acid is a strong acid and will remove corrosion and scale, as well as the metal of the coin and any natural patina beneath the corrosion. The resulting color will be bright and unnatural and would take decades if ever to retone. But if the only intent is to remove the corrosion, it would do that. Highly diluted it might even be useful as a silver dip.</p><p>Jim</p><p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
