<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2784022, member: 44210&quot;]I only had it in for 4 days, 3 I had it mixed with distilled water. And it did not spend that whole time immersed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like I still need to see examples of denarii or other solid silver coins damaged by lemon juice to be convinced. Like iamtiberius and red_spork it looks like the porosity was already present, most likely from the conditions in which it was buried. I have never heard of lemon juice being harmful to use on solid silver. If anything, I think the ammonia might have affected my coin more; after dunking it, the obverse came out slightly darker. I figure since (again, not a chemist), ammonia seems like the stronger stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I only remembered later on about the ammonia, so I probably would have used it earlier (I don&#039;t have much experience cleaning silver so I was still figuring out while cleaning my coin on how to more efficiently clean it - I admit I could have researched a bit more on how to clean it before I started, guess I was still focused on my very successful cleaning of my Louis the Pious denier with lemon juice a while back).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
