<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 523936, member: 4552&quot;]OK so here is what has transpired with those two coins on the window sill. First let me correct my previous information. A friend of mine saw me photographing those two and said &quot;Hey, aren&#039;t those the coins you had in the Laquer Thinner in your garage?&quot; I forgot about that. So unless my memory is completely shot I placed the Mercury Dime and the SLH in Acetone for a few weeks, then in Laquer Thinner for several days, Then in distilled water for a few days. The jar of distilled water was on a stove, over the pilot light so the water was a little on the luke warm side. </p><p>After this they both went on a window sill in the kitchen leaning against the wood of the window. It&#039;s Winter here so the windows have all been closed for months. Those coins have been there now for several weeks. Naturally at my age I keep forgetting to write down specific times or days. </p><p><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/SLH41Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/MercRev940.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/MercObv1940.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/carlagain/SLH41Rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Note the high gloss of the polished coins is now gone. Also, note the starting to tone around the edges of the SLH on both sides. The excessively glossy finish, whatever it was, is apparently now gone. Both these coins actually looked like proofs they were so shinny. The Merc is not doing as well as the SLH though. Not sure why. I&#039;ll leave them there for a few more weeks or even months. Nothing to loose now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
