But since it has other ingredients in there, the percentage of acetic acid in the teriyaki sauce is even lower. Now it might not give the whitish look but that would be because the other ingredients are working to tarnish/stain the coin at the same time. * Edited by Staff to add Quote tags. [quote][/quote] Please use them in the future. * I thought about adding a food coloring like grey to the vinegar mix to see if that would offset the whiteish etching look somewhat.

Larry Gosnell New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 10/17/2019 11:54 am Here is one last photo group of a 1914 D that I just finished this morning. Normally a 95 dollar coin in good condition. Have no idea what this one would be worth but from what I understand "not much" but for me it will fill a hole in an album that I otherwise would probably never have filled, due to the cost of the coin and besides that, I had fun doing it! Many more to go. Report this Post to the Staff

Larry Gosnell New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 10/22/2019 11:29 am Even out the color for a more uniform look would be great, just not sure how I would go about doing that? Maybe clean the coin. My final etch solution wound up being: 2 tbsp. white vinegar, 1 tsp peroxide, 1/2 tsp soy sauce for about 30 minutes but no longer than 1 hour max and I only etch the date area, cover the rest of the coin with cheap $1 nail polish. Remove nail polish with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Report this Post to the Staff

You would have to treat the entire surface, not just the date area.
