westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 12:54 am Results of post-minting cleaning efforts. Semi-chrome polishing paste yielded results like this on copper and brass. We used a lot of it on belt buckles and insignia back in my Army days in the 60's and 70's, Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/19/2022 01:29 am @ Westernsky : to day they use tooth paste for same result. But is crazy because 95% of tooth paste have fluoride inside and in few days after will toning black. Edited by silviosi 07/19/2022 01:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
