[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4795831, member: 111037"]That is a very good result, and it almost sounds like an easy process. But is it really? So you just gave it a couple of baths and a rinse? Is that sodium thiousulphate solution commercially available and easy to get? Is it only for horn silver or can it be used for general coin-cleaning? Sorry for all the questions :) And the final one, do you think that you increased the coin's value considerably? It certainly looks like, but I don't know how much horn silver damage usually reduces a coin's value. I guess it depends on how easy it is regarded to fix the coin, but as I said you made it look easy :)[/QUOTE]
