flying_teapot Valued Member Russian Federation 417 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 03:39 am I bought this medal in very bad condition, with solid corroded dark spots and nasty green areas. It looked much worse than these photo can show! Used the same method. At first, I cleaned green and dark spots with the most barbarian methods - acid, toothpaste, eraser. These spots were VERY strong! After that I had medal pink, shiny, with eraser scratches and put on a string in smelling salts vapour. After night in vapour it looked like this. Nice brown color, but green spots turned back! I prepared 0.5% vinegar solution and put medal in it, and wait till all green spots dissolved. The secret of 0.5% solition is: it don't affect on tarnish, and don't make copper pink! And I should say some more - aceton and toothpicks can't make anything to this type of "green". It will stay a bit. After that I put it on a string again. Final result is great. Plain and brown. All scrathes from eraser disappeared too.

flying_teapot Valued Member Russian Federation 417 Posts	Posted 03/16/2019 11:33 am Same procedure as on 1st page. 15 hours of hanging, but coins stopped changing color on 5th hour. 1961 is very dark, dark brown, close to black brown. Looks gorgeous and tasty (haha, because it's like dark chocolate?). I have never seen natural tarnish being so dark, but indeed this coin is extremely attractive! 1976 color is quite common. Almost like usual brown circulated coin, nothing special. What do you think seeing this? Edited by flying_teapot 03/16/2019 11:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
