I like Taco Bell by I wonder why the cost of the food is less than dog food.

Reduced sulfur is a powerful agent for blackening silver and copper. I use a more aggressive method than kraft paper contact for dipped and polished coins. Light matches directly under the shiny surface, then rub out the soot/blackening with your thumb. It takes several matches to get an evenly grimy coin.

The problem you may have with that method is that all the acid and sulfurs may have already leached out over 60 years, or at least the major concentration. Much of it is probably gone, but there will still be some. The heating from the sun through that western exposure window will help to drive more of it out of the cardboard, and the ziplock bags will act as a trap to hold what is still there in close contact with the coins rather than letting it escape.

Taco sauce also cleans copper cents Yes, that's because a major component of the sauce is vinegar, acetic acid. It combines with the copper to form copper acetate which is water soluable. So the outer surface of the copper is literally dissolved away. Edited by Conder101

I was pondering what to make myself for dinner tonight as I am home alone all weekend. After reading this thread I decided to double dose my blood pressure meds and head out to Taco Bell and order about $15 worth of the various menu items and bring home, pull up netflix, and gorge myself while watching some B movie most people never heard of. Please do not tell my wife I was eating that or she will kill me when she gets home, that is if the burritos don't kill me first.

Yes, and I still do not have a clear answer to my original question about the toning properties of Taco Bell napkins - but I sure learnt a lot about the merits of their food!
Dsfreeworld, since you mention SW Florida, that is where we spent our holidays, in the area between Ft. Myers and Naples. Really like it there
specially the beaches in Bonita Springs. To keep this coin related, while we are there, I also regularly visits a Flea Market on Bonita Beach Rd, and have found one or two interesting coins.

The big question: is it really meat at Taco Bell? If it isn't, what is it?

@germanics, yes that is close to me, I'm about an hour due East of Naples on the Everglades National Park. You'll have to message me next time. There are a lot of interesting coins to find in this part of the country. You had the Seminole Wars go off down here in 1818 with lots of soldiers from the North East of country coming and leaving history behind. If you can find some of that Numismatic History you might just uncover a treasure or two.
