<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LuxUnit, post: 3347740, member: 90324&quot;]For this soak I ended up doing my 1889 Morgan. I&#039;ve had reservations about that coin for a while because i&#039;m not sure how authentic it is. I bought it out of the end of questionable roll. The ends of the roll were tight but the paper looked damaged so I wondered if it hadn&#039;t gotten wet a while back or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was alright in photographs but in hand it only had luster on the edges and the non toned surfaces looked cloudy. I can only describe it as looking like it had a layer of something on top of it, something kind ugly little brown/yellow/orange color to it I thought it was worth finding out whats underneath.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tested the coin then followed with a 1 hour soak, rinse, and 5 minute soak then rinse. (all with acetone)</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall I&#039;m very happy with the way the coin appears after soaking it. It feels a lot more genuine (to me) and I enjoy the look. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you liked seeing my coins little journey!</p><p><br /></p><p>The in hand appearance:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]886509[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Better lighting DIRTY coin:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]886511[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Acetone CLEANED:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]886512[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Left to right: in hand, Dirty, Cleaned.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]886513[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Two more showing new color popping, the top I added some saturation:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]886514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]886515[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
