[QUOTE="mycohopper, post: 886500, member: 21377"]"Blast white" and "no life" in the same sentence would be an oxymoron :D But if by 'polished', you mean attacked with metal compounding agent and a dremel, they should appear mirror-like, but in a bad way. Unfortunately, there isn't much you could do to get that mint-state look back onto the coin. If you're willing to experiment, you might could try some fine grit sandpaper or tossing it around in a bag of sand and small rocks - although that could take some time and possibly wear your coins down to an undesirable state. As for the toning, sulfur is the key ingredient to induce toning on silver or copper coins.
