I'm going to posit that over-dipping is not the problem. Why? Because I'm going to trust NGC enough not to grade a coin in that sort of condition.
You need to get yourself a Red Book so that you can see what is available. It doesn't have to be a new copy. You just want info about the set, not...
And make sure as much as possible that the background is a non-reflective black or dark grey. You don't want a light-colored background...
It's an MS-61 so it must have some problem(s). It just can't have wear. Maybe the problem is loss of Mint shine.
What can you afford? That should be the major determining factor. When I started my silver Roosevelt dime set, I decided: - MS-66 for the...
There's a produce called Bestine (sp?) that is VERY good on rubber cement but doesn'y harm plastic. The only problem might(?) be any reflective...
I suggest something like Woolite, then multiple rinses.
Yeh, thanks. That works. I changed my shortcut from cointalk.com to cointalk.com/forum.php That bypasses the problem area.

When I logged in I got some sort of message about not having the privileges to do something. I'll have to pay closer attention the next time I log...

I've got my source for the two 1811's. They'll be bought one at a time probably over a period of one year. I'm thinking VF is the best I can...
We can only hope so. BUT It would be political suicide for members of Congress, so it won't happen for a while. Tax is probably the major reason....
The one coming is the "normal" variety. I already have the 1809/6 (or "9 over inverted 9"). It's the "small o inside O" that I'm missing. I've...
You didn't say WHY you were "surprised at the grade."
I think it's just toned. It's not an unusual color for nickels. I don't generally care for toned coins but this golden hue on nickels is pleasing...
Since I don't send anything won from me on eBay without Delivery Confirmation I used a smallish box. Delivery Confirmation requires the package be...
Just received an 1810 Classic Head half cent. [IMG] I also have an 1809 coming but it's about a month away. It's in NGC. Looking for it to...
Separate names with a comma.
