<p>[QUOTE="coinsleuth, post: 8358878, member: 75667"]I have seen heavy dark toning once before when silver came in contact with concentrated hydrogen sulfide for an extended period of time. In the case I recall, the dark toning did diminish to a softer shadow type color with the use of acetone. I believe the only solvent that will remove the tarnish without altering the coin is benzene, but obtaining benzene would be difficult, and benzene must be handled with extreme care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
