    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    I think of those folks who say that repeatedly dipping your coins doesn't hurt coins any, since you're not removing any of the metal from the coin.... image

    Well technically speaking they are right. Since the 'dip' is only removing the oxidation/corrosion products which are no longer the metal. (I.E. if it has already formed silver sulfide, then it's no longer silver metal). So technically the stuff is just removing the corrosion/oxidation compounds on the surface. If it were aqua regia, then it could also remove the pure metal itself and quite easily. Though if it were aqua regia the solution would be horribly corrosive. To attack either of the three metals listed, it would probably need to be nitric acid, and again, that's pretty tightly watched so I doubt that it would be in a cleaner like this. So really, it's just something that removes the tarnish and toning, but not the metal. (However, by exposing fresh metal to the atmosphere, it will allow that metal to tarnish and corrode as well, so you can get technical again and say that it does remove metal by allowing more metal to react with the atmosphere). image
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    ..............Jeweluster, a pair of sidecutters, and a flat blade screwdriver, the indispensable coin dealers best friends and tools of the trade.

    I've heard that once you become a dealer in PL and DMPL dollars, you can buy that stuff in 55 gal. drums via FedEx ground freight, is that true???
