so I have a penny who's only value is a penny so cleaning doesn't bother me. Thoughts on what solution to use to dip it? I say this because don't copper and silver require different liquids? Thanks.

 

umm - I have some thoughts but best not print them in the public space.

 

I completely agree. People who know better than to do this should not be suggesting it (even jokingly) on an online forum. It can sometimes be very hard for a reader to determine if the comment is meant as a joke or to be serious. If someone who was new and didn't know any better saw your post...and saw that you have 16K posts and thus assumes you must know what you are talking about; they might make a terrible mistake a destroy a valuable coin. We are here to discuss coins and educate...posts like that undermine that IMHO.

 

really, I thought we were here to bound in friendship though the common like of coin collecting.

 

Yes...that is part of it. But, it is designed to be a learning environment. People come here with very different backgrounds and levels of knowledge. Imagine if someone inherited a coin collection and went searching online for information about it and found our community. They see your posting...and believe that since you have been here for many years and been so active they assume the information you are providing is correct. Wouldn't it be a real shame if they destroyed the value of that coin collection because they read your joking post. You may not think it possible...but how many people come here looking for information about a coin they got from a relative or friend. Many, many people.

 

I punt that question to HOBO

 

You just don't want to admit that I'm correct and what you are doing is a disservice to this community.

 

Is that yeah you agree or yeah as in rolling
your eyes around?

 

Oh - last I heard you were liquidating your collection and upgrading. We still await your new coins.

 

What it really means is that Hobo is in a better position to answer this question than I am.

 

I don't remember.. but I don't roll my eyes around.

 

Can't it be both? We all love you Ruben (kiss, kiss), but maybe use a little smiley face if you are being ambiguously sarcastic.

As for your coin, if you are at all serious, I am sure someone will post an acceptable dip. Even Doug admits that some dipping isn't destructive. Dip and pat, but don't dip and rub. Somehow that sounds weird.

 

OK - Now I remember

No - the answer is yes.

 

He looks like he has been dipped in Tarnix with a magic wipe

 

This is true. I am slowly selling off some of my low grade bulk stuff and adding a few nicer things to my collection. What's your point? I have no obligation to you or anyone else to provide proof. But, if you want an example of a nicer piece I have added...here you go:

 

Well without proof it was just words. I bet your wife ended this dream. BTW - who is Eugene and how did he get a bank?

 

That is a cool note. You should post it on the paper forum.

 

My wife has nothing to do with this.

As for this note, it is a piece of National Currency issued by the First National Bank of Eugene in Eugene, Oregon. It is one of only 6 known examples of a 1902PB $10 note issued from this bank. This type of note predates the Federal Reserve System and is from a time when the US Government chartered national banks all over the country. Those banks then issued paper currency. This note is significant to me because it is from one of the chartered banks in the town where I grew up.
