    That would certainly help remove any die polish striations from an MS-70 proof UHR Gold coin! image

    That's the same company that sold nic-a-date for restoring dates on Buffalo nickels. Nasty, nasty stuff.

    What we have here is the classic "wiz kit." This has how the crooks changed "sliders" (AU coins) into "Uncirculated" coins and fleeced the public out of millions of dollars before third party grading came along. After a coiin as gotten the treatment from this device, the it's value is considerabely diminished.

    And, yes, this thing is "nasty."

    I think that dung would be better for your coins than that wire brush. image

  • Ouch. Hate to admit it but in my younger days I used this on a coin (nothing valuable). Saw the problem real quick.

    After all, it said " won't harm coins".

    About as bogus as the "We buy gold" guys.
