<p>[QUOTE="Magnus87, post: 3726826, member: 96372"]Coin Nut: Yes, I have seen other posters voice the same caution but no, in my several adventures with this process, I have never had the misadventure you warn about. In my current ongoing job described above the IHC I’m working on has been in the soup now for over 3 months with no apparent effect on the toning other than a VERY slight overall lightening, which has left a somewhat darkish piece actually looking better! I guess “your mileage may vary” is true sometimes... And yes, gently picking away at the crud with something WAY softer than the coin as you describe would probably well serve Razz. I’m having to cope with much harder stuff than you & Razz are. I learned about the oil soak from some ancients collectors; they swear by it. Anyhow, let’s see how it goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
