<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 912001, member: 4552&quot;]I too admit the coin does look better after that smoked procedure. Almost any coin would look better with that darkening effect than the cleaning appearance though. I&#039;d worry about the long term effects myself. Note that like anything else, smoke from cigaretts, pipes, cigars differs from product to product. Tars, Nicotine, miscellaneous other substances in the tobacco may end up effecting the coin in the future. The layering of the staining material on that coin may tend to continue effecting the metal over a long term. </p><p>Not sure if any of us will remember but I suggest you retake a photo of that coin in a year or two and post again, just in case. </p><p>I still think the best way to down effect cleaning a coin is to allow it to sit on a kitchen window sill for several months.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
