<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rhino89, post: 886611, member: 21773&quot;]Thanks for the tips guys. Let me re-phrase: the coin&#039;s very shiny, mirror-like. &quot;No life&quot; was a misnomer, that&#039;s just something I threw in there because I feel like coins with patinas, toning, and evidence of age show &quot;life&quot; on them and have character, and the shiny coins just had nothing to show for age. The coin is not dull and hasn&#039;t been dipped, just polished to a mirror like state.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m going to try putting it on a windowsill, put some other metals around it, and let it sit in the sun. We&#039;ll see what happens in some time. The original owner seemed to have polished the coin and immediately placed it in a 2x2, locking it in that state. I just took it out of the 2x2 yesterday and let it breathe finally...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
