[QUOTE="pete1970, post: 653725, member: 19553"]I have an 1866 2 cent piece that is black.As it is now,I can barely see any of the detail on this coin.I was thinking on lightening it up a little. What would I dip it in If I were to do so. I know this is a controversial subject and I'm still debating on whether I should try this or not. Here are some scans of the coin.After i had resized the pic I noticed there was corrosion that I could not see before ,especially on the reverse. This would be a good candidate for verdi gone. Any thoughts?
