<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2307903, member: 76194&quot;]Most American coins have been dipped at some point, which is why they seldom look that toned. However, I&#039;ve seen ancient silver coins that have accumulated centuries of tarnish and look just like that one...almost indistinguishable from bronze with a dark patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would suggest attempting to clean a tiny spot with lemon juice and see if she shines up...just a very tiny discrete spot should do <b>(somewhere on the edge)</b>. If the little spot brightens and you can see the silver, leave the rest of the coin as is with that dark toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
