Ok somewhere I think in this thread was Dan Carr's "solution" recipe for removing unwanted toning. He even included a picture of which TarnX bottle to buy. Well I bought the bottle a few months ago but now can't find the post. I'd appreciate some help finding it. I've never done this before so I want make sure I get it right the first time

Sorry to hear of that.
There is an effective and safe way to mitigate the toning if you are interested.
As long as they are not heavily toned, a "dip" type cleaner will take care of it, if used properly.
I recommend this procedure:
Get a black plastic bottle of "Tarn-X" silver cleaner (available at Walgreen's) or any similar "dip" type cleaner.
Submerge the medal in the cleaner for about 15 to 30 seconds. Then rinse it completely under the tap (including the edges) and then pat dry with a clean soft cotton bath towel (never rub dry, only pat dry). This type of "dip" cleaning will not harm the luster (or even a hologram), so long as it is done properly. This will also work for relatively light toning on mint copper, brass, nickel, etc.
You can re-use the cleaner on other medals and coins. But note that if you clean a lot of very dirty tarnished silver coins the cleaning solution will eventually turn yellowish. You can still use yellowed cleaner on silver coins. But if you put a copper piece in yellow solution, it can plate silver onto the copper.
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Nice I just learned of these coins picked a few up the other day. Waiting for them to ship! I like that 1965-D 50th Anniversary dollar are you going to let us Minions have first crack at it?
Well I following Dan's instructions and I'm happy to report all is well. I dipped about 60 of his coins and the most it took was 15 seconds. Most 5-7 seconds. Whew. The holograms had the most toning and those were a breeze as well.

Thanks G. Ive been on the fence whether to do that or go the ANACs route

I have a lot of my Dan coins in Air-Tites. I've considered getting them slabbed but want to wait till I can take good pics since taking pics raw is easier than in a slab.
Took some pics today of a 2019 Apollo and noticed the Statue of Liberty Crown from the host coin, a Presidential Dollar. Had never noticed it before and thought it was pretty cool.
@MsMorrisine Why did you disagree with my post a little back that said "depends on how big the check is heading my way?" What is there to even disagree with?

What about gold? Same procedure? My 'slug' has a copper spot on the cheek...(sad face).

I've "cured" gold coins with red spots in a similar manner, except that I left them in the solution for a longer period (10 minutes or more). 999 gold will not be affected by a lengthy "dip" in solution that is relatively fresh.
@renman95 said: @grandam, how does ICG cost structure compare to ANACS?
Normally $12 ea on an economy submission but I always wait until they run a special and pay $10 ea.
They have the specials several times a year.
Wow. ANACS is cheaper!? I wouldn't have guessed that! I typically save em up and submit a big number when they have an $8 per special and sometimes it's even free return shipping too!

Ohh, gotcha! I ended up using the right side, so the middle and left are still connected, though the middle now has an open end. I am out of town, but will try to get a picture of it when I get back in a day or so.
They got some nice dan carr pieces on his site I am not sure people know these are available. I picked up a few.
"1922" Standing Liberty Silver fantasy date over-strike, Worn Finish
1922-S" Winged Liberty Head ("Mercury") Silver fantasy date over-strike, Worn Finish
1915" Winged Liberty Head ("Mercury") Silver fantasy date over-strike, Worn Finish
Bullsitter yes those are the types I just bought yesterday from the web site. Date might be different nice pictures. Only the standing liberty on 1922 left.
Have I told y'all how much I love ANACS lately? This was a 3 coin submission, should get the grades on my other submission next week. I was thrilled to say the least to get two 70s on the 2017 Type 1and Type 2 Eagles.
Just shows the quality of Dan's work.
2016 D TOKEN DAN CARR CLARK GRUBER $1000 69 DCAM

Dan cleaned house last night. All 2017 Clark Gruber pieces are sold out. Both Tiara's are sold out with only 46 made of each. Antiqued Whydah is also sold out with a mintage of 51. Looks like there might be some "tumbled antiqued" Whydahs coming soon. I wonder what the difference is in "antiqued" and "tumbled antiqued" ?

The "tumbled antiqued" have more contact marks since they are literally tumbled (gently, but 999 silver is soft).
Those were done on contract for a distributor. The mintage on them is relatively high compared to the other cobs. Also, the main design elements on the tumbled version are mirrored compared to the rest of the cobs (the ship is facing the opposite direction).

I go with ICG on my Dan Carr items.
I don't care for the look of the ANACS holder.
Whatever floats your boat.
I like ANACS, top notch service. I've got a submission in now.

The worn pieces are pretty cool, here's my 1915 set.
Bullsitter yes those are the types I just bought yesterday from the web site. Date might be different nice pictures. Only the standing liberty on 1922 left.
Looks like all of Dan's Lincoln cents are final mintage, some still available on Dan's site.
The 2009-s copper plated Memorial Reverse has a final mintage of 37.
First time I have seen a "SQUARE" one of these...
Where did you see this one?
Well the open house dies are square. Looks like he punched some square blanks to strike too aside various circular coins.

Hmmmmmm
A year only fantasy mint set that would go in a 7070
Hmmmmmm
Can it be done within the confines of what has already been done?
Just in from Colorado.
Hey Chief, Did you learn something from "Merlin" that helps you get those MS 70 grades ?
Merlin is cool but I have to give ALL the credit to Mr. Carr.
