As a newbie here, with some forgetable expertise over the years that may come in handy, in cleaning coins, from brush to ferric chloride to bleach, to steel needles, previously-with me, a coin is surely going to come out shiny!
But now with learned lessons from CCF under my belt, cleaning's a thing of the past!
Here's something new for me, to bring out the nice tone from dull coins, just use a wad of very soft clean tissue paper, nothing else, rub not more than 20 times in one direction only, you'l see the patina come out.
