Okay, got it: I know this is blasphemous bordering on the sacrilegious but, be honest, have you ever experienced a lapse of judgment and thought, if only for a fleeting moment, and wondered what would happen if you sprayed WD-40 on this, both sides, and let it sit overnight? That's the one "dip" or "cleaning agent" I have never heard mentioned in any post. Lem E and Buffalo Head 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 4 minutes ago, ldhair said: / To be clear -- before I get more javelins thrown at me, I do not advocate the use of any agent on a collectible. If you have something in your possession, that clearly exhibits little or no numismatic or collector value, and you're literally salivating at the thought of playing Mad Scientist for "research purposes," by all means do so. But If in your travels you come across a 1913 U.S. nickel with what you feel is an odd oversized letter V on its reverse, it's best to refrain from doing anything to make it look better until you get a qualified second opinion. As a general rule, "cleaning" of any kind is looked down upon in this hobby, and rightly so. Note to those submitting photos to fellow members via the appropriate thread for clarification, appraisal -- or amusement: bear in mind this is a Forum open to members of every stripe and economic status. Try to express yourself clearly and in presentable fashion. Wash your hands, brush and trim your nails, choose your words with caution -- and display your coins properly, by their edges. Remember, first impressions count. I do not wish to speculate as to whether any of the foregoing applies to a valued member like Alex of PA who can express his thoughts concisely and coherently with the presentation of a single appropriately animated colorful emoji.

You guys crack me up 😆 😂 What about Taco Bell napkins? Anyone into those? Even the tissue paper that a new shirt in a box might be wrapped in will do it. If you wrap your coin in any of these and put in a hot, humid environment I’m told will tone coins. Not at all sure if it would be acceptable toning by one of the TPG’s, but it’ll tone. For the record I have never toned any of the coins in my collection. I have seen so many nice coins that have been destroyed by doing these things. Just look on eBay🤮 But whatever floats your boat.
