<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1218508, member: 15929&quot;]The acidic reaction on the coppers surface will definitely change its color. And for a new fella, it might look ok. It might even look brand spanking new! Experienced collectors and dealers will spot the &quot;color change&quot; immediately since the color takes on a pinkish hue the same as if the coin were dipped in E-Z-Est.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can get this reaction with nearly any fruit. I&#039;ve seen it happen with bananas!</p><p><br /></p><p>However, despite what your eyes are telling you, the coin is essentially ruined and even years upon years of natural toning will not undo the damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, you&#039;re not really &quot;cleaning&quot; the coin as much as you are simply changing the color of the coin with a chemical reaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t do anymore ok?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
