<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3194001, member: 19250&quot;]I have 3 jeweler friends, Steve showed me how to plate items . Of course immersed in the solution and a elertric current running through the item.</p><p>However the surface of the item must be clean from anything that would interfere with the process. Look at around the devices notice the voids around the profile and in areas that the polish didn&#039;t clean or was left behinde. Notice the color difference as of course the transfer didn&#039;t happen. On the reverse the same.</p><p>The cleaned high points have been plated, but the cracks and crevices don&#039;t....show it was plated.</p><p>And of course it also depends on the the amount of plating on how fast it will wear off. But again when you plate an item the finial result will be determine on how well the item is preped.</p><p>From&nbsp; looking at the op coin it wasn&#039;t prepared very good as it&#039;s can be seen clearly where the plate took hold and where it did not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
