[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 580952, member: 16510"][b]Hi Thad - think Jeopardy, what's another use for shoe polish?[/b] Hi Thad - think Jeopardy, what's another use for shoe polish? Plus dyes, rouge, other cleaners for industrial use - there's about a thousand more I'm sure the old timers knew about. Talk about slick Mr. Stockton from KY. could and did repair holed and damaged coins that found their way into PCGS holders undetected - I sent a man up there with an 09-S VDB with a hold in the head, clean through and when it came back you could not find it. He would mix the copper filler with color to match perfectly. The old timers knew a lot but they are passing quickly - an old timer once told me he could use a solution of cream of tarter and clean almost any copper without it looking as if it was cleaned by adjusting the solution just so - he passed before I could get the exact method out of him. I've even heard of juice from red pepper plants but I don't know how to do it. Probably a million ways including another million we will never know about.[/QUOTE]
