geoff hobson New Member United Kingdom 40 Posts	Posted 06/21/2013 3:39 pm I have just bought a coin that was cleaned at some time. It was one I wanted so I was not too unhappy about the cleaning, however my question is this is there safe easy good way to get the toning back? I don't suppose it will ever look at its best, but can it be toned down? Geoff. Report this Post to the Staff

On a secure window ledge hgh above a busy road perhaps. For silver, some suggest placing in a brown paper bag for a year or so. These ideas may or may not work, but either way they won't eliminate hair lines. Report this Post to the Staff

The ammonia will accelerate toning (but dont go dipping it in ammonia or you could get season cracking). Report this Post to the Staff
