<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 609453, member: 4552"]Not sure why you would want to mess with that coin but if you do, here is a tip. For many years now I've been toning down coins that have been cleaned. Some have gone so well many dealers I know with excessive experience couldn't tell they ever were cleaned. I've tried numerous methods but usually they all come out poor except one process but it has a lot of variables. </p><p>Just place almost any coin on a window sill in your kitchen. Usually a window that gets some or lots of Sunlight. Do not lay the coin down but place against the window frame on an angle standing up so air gets to both sides simultaneously. This almost always works by toning a coin to as much as you like. However, here are the variables. The rather constant temperature in the Kitchen, the amount of cooking done, the types of cooking done, open or closed window, ceiling fan used for circulation, people that smoke in the kitchen, amount of humidity. All such factors and the amount of them will eventually make that coin look however you want it to appear. One more tip is to occationally blow your breath on the coin. Some people's breathing is enough in itself to do the job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
