Lincoln2403 New Member Australia 36 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 06:03 am I thought it may have been dipped and coated in something. Its of the same consistency over the entire coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaymon74 Pillar of the Community United States 844 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 1:17 pm A product here in the U.S. called "Neverdull" will put a shine on a coin like that. It's a cotton material with a chemical added. Rub the coin and wipe off with clean soft towel. As a child, I used to shine up my copper cents with it. Report this Post to the Staff
