My Mood:
I will sometimes dip a heavily toned coin (read ugly shades of brown black) to bring out some of the coin's natural beauty, but I don't ever dip copper, and I don't do weird things to my coins like take wire brushes or strange chemical reactions like baking soda baths or soaks in vinegar (unless your a dateless buffalo), or immersion in mercury. There is a difference I think.
