<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ptHoneyBadger, post: 4058032, member: 110356&quot;]Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but this seemed like the best thread on which to ask my question. I&#039;m a retired surgeon and have taken up coin collecting as a hobby to occupy my mind and hands. I am doing this mostly for fun and because I enjoy looking at pretty coins. </p><p>I have a strong background in organic and inorganic chemistry, and I find the topic of coin cleaning/conservation/doctoring to be quite fascinating. I have learned a lot from reading some of these old threads. I find all of the arguments quite entertaining as well. </p><p>I am a doctor, but have no interest in becoming a &quot;coin doctor&quot;. I have a few Indian Head Cents that have a bluish/purple color, and I suspect were cleaned with MS70. Otherwise, they are attractive coins with uncirculated details but no substantial value. I don&#039;t want to turn them &quot;red&quot; but would prefer to restore their natural brown tone if possible. Is there a way to do this? Would it be best to just leaving them laying out around the house for awhile?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any advice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
