<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 8301839, member: 15199&quot;]Yes, from several different TPGs.&nbsp; However I must emphasize that the directions must be properly followed for best results and the coin must be regularly checked until the end.It is not a dump in the coins and leave them alone for a week&nbsp; solution.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A coin that is well processed on one side and no attention to the other side will be&nbsp; obviously different. The coin should be turned over for equal time of exposure to a more open side of solution ( I usually do so about 3 times within 24 hours. Also a good quality watercolor brush ( hair, not plastic fibers) when dampened by the solution can remove small debris that becomes loose on the surface , but usually not well visible.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I do not think it is suggested, but I have used distilled water to dilute it to a weaker solution if the problem is slight or&nbsp; unequal on a surface ( Sorry Bad Thad ), but I dispose of any dilute solution <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I consider the coin as a blank canvas and use as much time and treatment needed to just work to a suitable end point. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; When it appears &quot;done&quot; then rinse the coin well with water and I then rinse with acetone holding by the edge. And continue hold in air until the acetone is gone (usually only takes a minute or so depending on your environment temperture).</p><p>The acetone is just to remove any microscopic amount of water. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is in answer to getting TPG straight grading.But if never used before start from the given directions with the solution.&nbsp; The only one I do not send to is ICG because of a possible very intense microscopic exam by their careful expert. He may be a little odd, but sincerely he very good at his job. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
