<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grbose, post: 644312, member: 19274&quot;]I&#039;ve experimented with cleaning silver coins in the past not only to see how they would turn out but to try to educate myself on how to spot them and this one looks just like how some of them turn out especially when dipped (explained below). Coins that are very dirty with a greasy film on them I&#039;m sure you know the ones we&#039;ve all seen them. When you dip them and try to wipe the grim off it leaves that dull gray finish. Also when you dry the coin if you rub it between your fingers with a towel it gets those swirl marks. If you have some old worthless dirty silver coins try this you&#039;ll see what I mean. Take a glass bowl line it with aluminum foil add hot tap water as hot as you can get it, add 2 tbsp of baking soda and 2 tsp Salt drop the coins in the hot water let them sit for 5 minutes you should see all the toning disappear immediately, remove them and rinse with hot water now dry them with a soft cloth the dirty greasy ones rub them between your fingers with the soft towel to remove the grease and leftover dirt and voila clean but with the grayish finsih just like the coin in the photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
