Washington Quarters Question About Black Stains.

Soooo... I spent all morning reading every piece of information that I could find about silver coin "conservation". Do's and don't.. Maybe's and mights. At his point, I just wanted some improvement without damaging the quarter. Please review the before and after photos. Absolutely no rubbing or scrubbing done. I don't see any difference in the surface of the details or field except the tarnish is gone.. At any rate, I'll take it. Thanks again for the help and comments.

The '59 turned out great.

Thanks again.. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Had a cardiologist appointment. I used the aluminum foil method with modifications. I hesitate to get deeply into the process because it can really mess up a coin if not real careful. The dip was for only a few seconds, and I immediately soaked in distilled water and then dipped in acetone before going through a total distilled water soak again. Used one of my tee shirts to pat dry. My wife liked that part...I agree with everybody who suggests that this process should not be used unless you are experienced in conservation.

Well done Jim, looks fantastic.

I appreciate the comments...Thanks Marve for the hint...it offered a good start.

great results jfeed!
Now I'm even more curious as to your method (I could use that method om my great Grandmother's silver service tea set.

I've never heard of this method but thanks for sharing. I've got some uglies that I could experiment with.
