[QUOTE="Pishpash, post: 2348019, member: 71514"]I totally agree with you Doug. To the naked eye, the surfaces are considerably smoother than the photo shows, and there is still residual dirt on the surfaces. This was done because I was asked to do it. After soaking there were eruptions of green that appeared, previously not visible. I don't think the soup has effected the surfaces. It did soften the green stuff allowing it to be removed and it also softened the dirt. Had they been my coins, I would have gone down the DW route. Perhaps the soup for the green one at a later stage depending on how it progressed. I think that the soup is best used for the green mineral deposit that is defacing the coin, like this one. [ATTACH=full]477745[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]477746[/ATTACH] After the soup I just peeled off the green, I have not done anything else to the surface. I just wanted to see the detail of the coin.[/QUOTE]
