Yep. I actually bought the chemicals to try it, but they're still just sitting on my shelf rolling their eyes at me.
Oh, that's a shocker. ;)
Dip is generally an acid combined with thiourea. Water is better for dislodging those than acetone would be. If the coin starts to discolor after...
I assume these will be slabbed before they're put up for auction, privatizing even more profit. I just hope that the one pictured gets slabbed as...

What was the market like for them before this?
We'll be very sorry to lose you. I've had to give up on a few sites due to the pop-up ad invasion. For this one, it's completely worth the $28 a...
