<p>[QUOTE="Razz, post: 3680800, member: 100526"]Rinse it in distilled water, then a brief soak in acetone. Rinse once more in distilled water. Either air dry or lightly pat dry. What is left will be toning. Patina is also toning. Value really depends on state of preservation with a possible bump due to the toning (if eye appealing. If it is MS with very few marks or nicks, then it will be worth a little more. A red book will give you relative values of the date and mint mark, but are usually retail and not necessarily what a dealer will buy it for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
