<p>[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2439172, member: 76111"]I hate blast white ancients. I bought some liver of sulfur and some tone/tarnish removal pads off of Amazon maybe a year ago to experiment. I tried toning a cast fake of Macrinus that I bought for study. Diluted a few drops of the liver of sulfur in a sink of hot water, dipped the coin in and within seconds it started to tone. It will keep toning until it is black even out of the solution so I washed it in a baking soda and water solution to neutralize it. I then took the tarnish removal pad and cleaned off the highlights. It came out great. I'm still afraid to do it on any of my real coins. The results were very good and probably could be better with practice so I'm tempted but it's a slippery slope.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, no pictures of the coin at the moment but I will share a picture of my bulldog in the dishwasher</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]507992[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
