No, I don't take the beltway. I have to take the busses from potomac near the village. It takes a bit. I just got my permit last week so I can't drive yet.

Are you going to take the bus when you start working for Julian?

Maybe, Ill probably get a ride down over the summer. I got 2 younger siblings so the rents get a nanny for the two of them. They said that they could drive me down, but we'll see. If I needed to bus I could. With metro single tracking it would probably be faster then rail.

Near terminal brown and some black toning. No way I'd mess with it, I think it'll be worse off.

You could try going the other way and toning it with paper or rubber bands in the vicinity to make it a more even black

Or I can play around with some of my tarnished halves that are only melt and see if I could reverse the toning chemically. Tarnish is sulfur dioxie disillicon. You could try breaking the sulfer dioxide off chemically leaving di-sillicon molocules on the surface. Sillicon could be removed with an acetone soak. Just thinking out loud. |

Typically silver tarnish is silver sulfide, not what you stated which has me confused. Where did you learn about silicon being found in silver tarnish?
The dip can dissolve the silver sulfide from the surface, which will then be fresh silver and very susceptible to fast re-toning if not protected. As it stands, the native silver oxides and sulfide on the surface have passivated it, protecting the coin's surface to an extent. You take that away and more silver will react with the atmosphere. Repeating this process further removes silver from the coin's surface.

You can try MS-70 before going full dip if you want but your dealer can probably dip it for it if that doesn't work

E-Z-Est will greatly improve the eye appeal. Follow direction on the jar.

GrapeCollects- Whatever you decide to do, could you post pictures of the results? I think the mint luster is toast on this coin. MS70 plus dipping it, the coin will come out an ugly dull gray.
