<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3040273, member: 92655&quot;]Been collecting a very long time and have never considered altering a coins appearance. I have a sixty year old Whitman album of Mercs. Maybe a third of the dimes have been in that album since it’s inception and those dimes are horridly black and ugly. Now that I am educated on the dangers of the cardboard albums I am changing the set to a better grade album. If I can safely improve the appearance of the black dimes by dipping I may consider doing that.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what exactly is dipping? Is it the same sort of thing my wife dips her jewelry in from time to time? Are there specific formulas made for our coins? And the big question.... Am I truly damaging common average grade coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Please, I have no intention here of inciting a rabid debate on the ethics of coin cleaning. Just asking to be educated so I can make an informed decision before I transfer this set to a better album.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
