<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1444313, member: 10103&quot;]I agree with Mark, the coin appearance is washed out.&nbsp; Shinny, yeah, but lustrous, no.&nbsp; The luster disappeared from that Washington long ago and there is no way to bring it back.&nbsp; Luster on a coin is due to the flow lines created when the coin is struck and the metal is moved toward the collar.&nbsp; Once a coin enters into circulation, and begins to experience wear, those flow lines begin to disappear.&nbsp; There is no way to restore them.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s.:&nbsp; My Father ruined a very nice Oregon Trail commemorative half dollar using Tarnex.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
