I dipped a 1980 Lincoln for grins right? Ok.Big deal right?Ya but...
First the grade....was a brown copper...oh......I,m calling it a EF40.Ordinary pocket-change.
Then the dip.I used an old slurry of MS70 Coin Detergent I had left over.Looked like olive oil,ya know...anywayHeres my observation.
The coin now still looks basicly brown but has that funny blue tint to it of a cleaned coin.
However,I noticed that I could also see the cartwheel luster returned quite abit.
At first I thought.Hmmm is this a `false reading` or something,but with the loupe I could see it was from
the newly exposed flowlines in the coin.
I just thought that was interesting.
I know that brown thing would now be rose-pink had I used eZest.That stuff is too too powerful for copper.

Now wasnt that dumb....
