Just bought my first 5 oz. jar of ezest the other day and tried it out today. I tried it on 2 silver halves and a clad quarter. Here are the results for the quarter. I have to say it looked nicer before than after 
. It looks very dead now. But hey, it's just my first try. You might say I was trying to kill it, seeing as how I left it in the ezest for 5 minutes 
. It's just worth face anyways, so no real harm done 
. I have to find out the strength of the stuff and the length for the dip before trying it on anything else.

P.S: You don't have to worry about me selling dipped morgans on ebay. Ain't gonna happen. What I'm doing is merely experimentation.

hi, i'm tom.
i do not doctor coins like some who post in here.

This was done for all three coins after the dip in the water.
BTW I did the halves first and I didn't take any before pics.
Grab some scrap 64 Kennedy's and try dipping one for 5 seconds, then 1 for 7 seconds, then one for 10 seconds etc to see the results. You can usually keep most of the original luster if only dipping for a few seconds. Remember that the clock is still ticking until the rinse begins, so if you remove the coin from the dip and hold it there for 3 seconds to let that big drip fall back you have to add that 3 seconds to the total dip time.
Then grab some more scrap 64 Kennedy's (notice a pattern here....) and cut (dilute) the dip by 25% then 50% then 75% and see the different results.
Do this all before you dip something that matters to you.
