What do you think before in a PCI 64 and after a bath?

Before

After

 

[MunkyMan95]

What did it get a bath in?

[harvey8542]

Sorry should have stated a light cleaning in MS-70

[jgrinz]

Yukky before - More yukky now

 

[MunkyMan95]

What was your motive for the bath? Is there something in the before pics that you wanted to get off that I can't see?

 

I prefer the before coin to the after one.

The before was way better....my opinion...bad move on your part but if you are happy then what the heck

[MikeInFL]

Why would you do that? Frankly, I think the coin looked better before the bath...Mike

[harvey8542]

My motive was due to when I cracked it out the stuff that looked like toning on the reverse was actually a sticky substance and rather ugly in hand.

The lighting appears to be inconsistent so I cannot give you a valid opinion on the overall look of the coin.

You should have left it the way it was. Now you are a coin dr.

I liked the before better. If the stuff on the reverse was something sticky you should have tried distilled water and if that didn't work then acetone to see if it could be removed without altering the toning. The MS70 has altered the surfaces of the coin and it looks it.
