<p>[QUOTE="SmokinJoe, post: 5195028, member: 77523"]paddyman I would soak it in olive oil for a few days....What I have noticed the olive oil will darken the coin to where it should be....Some cents and nickels that I cleaned myself and I had cleaned them too much...Their color was very very light. Could hardly even see the date....Those coins took more than a few days in the olive oil....I forget exactly how many days but it was over a week. The nice thing was they ended up getting their color and "tone" back. Worth a try[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
