[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2502558, member: 1892"]It's conceivable; I've never tried to bring back a fully black coin (the most important step in conservation is [I]deciding what to conserve[/I]) and don't have the ability to weigh coins with atomic resolution. With that said, like pretty much all conservation operations, the degree of success is likely enhanced by the speed with which the process is accomplished. Many conservations are ruined because the operator wants results [B]right now[/B], and overcooks something. Electrolysis works with cold water, too. Just [I]more slowly[/I], and perhaps that more gradual transition causes less original silver loss. Doug, I really don't want to make this into an argument but in the context of discussing a moderately-edge-toned coin you [B]specifically said it would be damaged via inaction[/B]. How exactly [B]do[/B] I interpret that, then?[/QUOTE]
