Bought it off ebay and had a slight greening pvc color. Few minutes in acetone and a treatment with MS70 and it looks great!

    @erwindoc ... Wow!! Now that is a startling transformation. Very, very nice. After the sad news yesterday, I was thinking of getting one of these. She was a remarkable lady indeed. Cheers, RickO

    Looks great. Did you treat the entire coin with MS70?

    Turned out great!! I love those early reverse proof finish Britannia Coins. I've been working on collecting them. Last year they released a 10 oz version.

    MS70 is a great product. I have used it for years and have had the same bottle I bought about 12 years ago. I obviously do not use it often.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    Yes, entire coin. Cotton swab rolled on turned a bit green. Should have taken a pic of it.

    Yes, I wanted to post this yesterday in her honor, but was just too busy. I remembered today.

    great results and yes it does work well on PVC.
    Bought an ammo can 1/2 full of Walkers that were all green as could be. MS70 did a spectacular job and when I sold I made a ton of money off them. Paid way under melt as they were "damaged" per the seller. I knew some were beyond hope but actually only a few were destroyed. The rest were SAVED!

    @erwindoc .... I ordered one today (2022 coin) in remembrance of the Queen. I spent many years working for a British company (Plessey) in Barbados, Portugal, California and many, many trips to England. Cheers, RickO
