If you are going to sell them for melt, then why not try a soak in acetone first? It isn't going to change the melt value.

Might as well give them a dip. Acetone won't help, and if selling for melt dipping won't hurt.

If you are considering selling for melt anyway, you can try a quick little bath. It will remove toning from silver. 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 cup of hot water - mix well. Pour in container and put in a piece of aluminum foil (cut to container size) shiny side down. Place coin on foil. Not recommended for value pieces.

My question would be is how much did these cost you, and you sell them for melt (spot) would you take a loss. Your can try to sell them on ebay with that toning, some folks like heavy toning for some reason. |

Certainly deserves the cull, by whatever means.

Acetone will not do anything to that toning, it only removes organic materials.

Acetone was not going to help them. You need to use an acid-thiourea dip, like e-Z-est.
