[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 3346, member: 22"]I`ve just done a quick experiment to show an example of a cleaned piece of sterling after using ammonia on a cotton bud or Q-Tip. This is a scrap 925 British coin with dirt and tarnish / toning. [B]#1 Uncleaned.[/B] [ATTACH=full]595[/ATTACH] [B]#2 Half Cleaned[/B] [ATTACH=full]596[/ATTACH] [B]#3 Fully Cleaned.[/B] [ATTACH=full]597[/ATTACH] Very little pressure is applied and no abrasive marks are left behind. Obviously I would not attempt this on any of my better examples. [ATTACH=full]598[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]599[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
