To dip or not to dip: That is the question.

Well I certainly earned my 50 lashes for this foolish thread. But I will say, you guy's certainly backed up my original thoughts on not touching it. Which is mostly why I had created this post. I wanted to make sure I chose wisely. So thank you all for the proper woodshed reminder. I shall not go astray again.

51 lashes. I haven't replied yet..

edit to add - We don't want to have to start a "Post your" thread about our cleaning/ conserving attempts gone wrong now do we.....

 

No way! The edge brown toning is near terminal, you'd damage the coin with a dip.

 

I decided to just leave this topic alone. Unnecessarily dipped Franklins are a dime a dozen. I guess it's just easier to image and sell blast white coins, and everyone's opinion of "good toning" is a little different . Franklins with nice original album/OGP toning are awesome and fairly hard to find.

 

Woodshed.....shoot I think Dave will make you go and cut your own switch.....

 

You know what they say.....spare the rod spoil the numismatist .

 

Nice eye appeal. leave it alone..

 

Hahaha!!! My grandpa used to make my dad and uncles go out and get there own switch. One of my uncles thought he was a bit smarter than grandpa and brought in a rotten piece of wood. Well he got to go out to the weeping willow tree for that one.
