<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1763176, member: 15199"]Any hydrogen peroxide in the Nic-a-date formula is for foaming and cleaning purposes, not to differentially dissolve the metal. That is the ferric chloride solution ( use to be available at radio shack or places with PC board material). If you can't figure out the reaction, either buy commercial, or leave the coin alone. Any old acid will not do as well as Nic-a-date and will damage the coin much more . To me Nic-a-date is similar to AT, as the coin is chemically doctored to appear possibly more valuable with a fuzzy date and ruined surface than no date. IMO .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
