Tiffibunny Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 That's too bad since it's a nice coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 It will recolor itself over time. Put it in an a 2x2 envelope and leave it alone for a year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I thought you'd got a fake there for a moment. I thought why does an 1891 have the old head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 Oh i know the feeling, i get b's and d's mixed up all the time. And i always miss the "n't" off of words like 'does', 'is', 'should', etc. Which makes my messages make no sense whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, Brasso leaves behind a residue which is supposed to stop tarnish. You'll need to wash it thoroughly in hot, soapy water with a trace of ammonia to strip the Brasso from the surfaces. Once your coin is back to the clean metal, retoning will begin. Give it 20 years in a cheap manila or wrapped in that 1st grader's wide ruled paper and your penny will be back up to snuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
