[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 2513197, member: 75143"]Here's an example of a 1919-D, dated via apple cider and peroxide. This was left in for somewhere around 1 hour, I wasn't too scientific in the time - I tossed the coin in, played a couple missions of GTA IV, and took it out when I had a lull in gameplay. As you can see, it leaves a more gentle looking result than harsh nicadating. However, you can see a couple of "stained" spots - this results from improper rinsing and drying of the coin after its vinegar bath. To avoid this, there are two options: 1. Rinse [I]very well[/I] in water immediately after vinegar bath. 2. If there is still a stain, then you can put it [I]back into[/I] the bath for just a couple of minutes, and the stain will come right out.
