I have did this to coins that looked absolutely horrible and they have come out looking mint condition and they still look good after a few years. don't do this on coins that have the mint luster wore off because it will make them look cleaned and horrible looking. this method is also perfect for our clad coins to remove tarnish and ugly toned spots. that coin that Kasia had I could have had it looking perfect in just a few seconds and it would have not looked to have been cleaned. please if you try this do some experiments first and see if you like it and learn from practice.
