I know that we are all NOT to polish & clean coins, but is there a way to reverse the process and make a coin 'soiled dirty' to make it look aged?
Reason I ask, the other day an older great-grandmother type woman gave me about 25 polished & cleaned AG Rosie's at face value. She said that they belonged to her late husband and knew that I collected coins. Nearly all were showing signs of being cleaned. My question is: is there a way or process that can be applied to make the coins look tarnished/dirty & old looking, vs the polished look. I took the coins only because of their silver value, didn't have the heart to tell the woman that "coins should not be polished" and are now ruined. Comments & or suggestions.
