To highlight patina on copper, brass, and silver coins, I just use a pencil eraser... It gives a very nice effect with centavos, English pennies and Walking Liberties.

Is this to make the high places shiny?
If so, a jeweler's polishing cloth can help too.

Indeed, high places, but if you plan ahead, you can "reverse highlight" the depressed areas.

Ah, the joys of antiquing...and a challenge to get it right when working on such small objects.

There's many ways to get the look you want on things, using simple chemicals and paints. The antique dealers have many tricks up their sleeves. LOL
theres a lot to learn out there,many interesting subjects,and hobbies to enjoy
