You find these coins in a set.

Do professionals wear natty looking hats like you?

+1 on the acetone first, but no professionals needed on a '64 Kennedy. Great coin to practice your dipping skills on.

 

Indeed they do......

 

I chose distilled water cuz I’ve never had a coin nice enough to even think about it

 

So if not worried about damage. Use your own magic on them and let us see what you end up with. Curious me

 

Give them to someone while your still around. No heir issues

 

I really did enjoy the bag hat

 

That's interesting, I have never heard of this before. MS70 is for coins that are in Mint state, not intended for coins that are circulated. I always use the soak in distilled water before the MS70. As any other contaminants on the surface might react with the product.

 

Now that’s the best idea. Cuz you might change your mind after soaking in water. I would definitely do that first just because

 

It's always the best first procedure. A hot water rinse, and then a distilled water soak. Does wonders somethimes, just don't forget about the dish and let the water evaporate.

 

Since the half has a fingerprint, I would dip them, rinse them well with water then follow up with an Acetone bath to finish. Hopefully the fingerprint will be gone. These are not valuable coins, but they are silver and worth playing with as they are low value coins. Never going to probably be worth much more than silver value. Good coins to experiment with. Make sure to put into some protection (a flip or 2x2) after you are done.

 

They're not worth more than spot silver price. I wouldn't bother with anything but maybe acetone.

 

Ok members!!!! After you thoughly water your coins first. Then maybe you dip a coin, what chemical are you dipping into. Is it that MS70? Then saying (give it an acetone soak). Thought you dipped coins before grading and slabbed. So what chemical are you dipping into. Humor me please

 

@Cheech9712
It wasn't one of the options in the pole. We are talking about a commercial coin dip.
Coin dips are very reactive with the surface. They will remove unsightly toning, spots, corrosion in a matter of seconds.
Not something I use, because it can also remove luster just as quick.

 

Once again. When you say dip. What are you dipping the coin in?

 

Ok. Thanks
