<p>[QUOTE="Barney McRae, post: 25245428, member: 150594"]Thanks for sharing that story, very interesting. Well, I soaked the coin in a covered bowl of pure acetone for 12 hours, no change, and no discolored residue in the acetone. I rinsed and dried it, then carefully applied heaping dabs of MS70 with a Q-tip swab, one side at a time, a rinse in between with hot water. No rubbing with the QTip, just lightly rolling it. A little bit of blue purple showed up on the Qtip but not a lot. I rinsed thoroughly, patted it dry, and let it finish drying. The coin now shows a bit more luster, but it's color remains unchanged.</p><p>I may purchase some EZ-est to dip it one day. I'm a little wary of acid dips because it seems to create some knock down drag out discussions about chemically altering a coin. What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
