Thanks Doug, I think prolonged contact is the key here. I just put a silver round in a dish of Ammonia to see what happens.
Why does the fact that I choose not to use it have anything to do with any one else's opinion? Where did I say it didn't work? Like I said, man, most of this is going over your head.
Easy not "rocket science." I asked a question in post to @Kentucky. "Ditto" was for Doug to answer the same question concerning ammonia. The educated person who answered my question understood the meaning of "ditto."
This is not "rocket science" either. If a person is uninformed about proven methods/products to do something and then choses to ignore/or test the proven methods/products for himself for whatever reason - that's perfectly OK - free country, . YET, when that person, who is especially well regarded, continues to comment on things they know really know nothing about due to their own personal choice, they will have a huge impact on less knowledgeable collectors here. BTW, Your Post#44 convinced me it was bedtime last night.
I never gave an opinion. I have been using MS70 on silver coins from the time it first came out. It works well.
I'm sure the other two have the knowledge and experience to remove haze from proof silver coins. I'm also sure they understand the topic much better than you. You have a ways to go to reach the level of knowledge here.
Yeah, I kind of don't get it, ldhair. My choice not to use the stuff has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not it works.
Yep, I'm trying to understand why you won't suggest to SD that he may like to try MS-70 (since you know it works well) before he condemns it.
Here's how this should've gone insider... Insider: Hey superdave, you should try ms70 it works well despite its caustic nature. SuperDave: You buyin'? (Or something like that) Then we talk about something else or stay on op topic. Simple
BTW...mostly because the compounds which can be formed between these compounds and silver COMPOUNDS are explosive, silver itself doesn't react so readily. Did you know that table salt comes from a poisonous gas and a metal so reactive it can explode in water.
To be honest with you I quit messing around with chemistry after I had figured out how to make nitroglycerin from scratch when I was 8 years old. I figured since I had that, I didn't need it (chemistry) for anything else
Hey @SuperDave, you should try MS-70. It works EXTREMELY well in many situations despite its caustic nature. If you get a bottle, PM me and I'll tell you one way several conservation services (at least three that I know of) use it.
#1) I am NOT your son. #2) Don't call me that. #3) If I were, I'd have to hang myself. #4) Speaking about learning.... Look in the mirror.
You are a space cadet. I never referred to the use of any cleaner, just your attitude. Which could use a cleanup
