At what point have you gone too far? What&#039;s next? Re-browning a coin? I see certain sellers on ebay who buy discolored cents or verdigris, or problem cents and then clean and oil them. They resell them under the same account they buy the other ones form. It is very deceptive.

I have had to acetone and even dip some due to extreme pvc slime (silver).&nbsp; As far as the example the OP has in the post, it certainly does look nicer after the oil. However, I do not know about the underlying problem, or whether or not it still exists.&nbsp; It&#039;s really a fine line to walk.&nbsp;&nbsp; Depending how many beers I&#039;ve had, I can fall to either side at any step.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the &quot;re-tone&quot; disaster I purchased.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]151014.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
