[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2774220, member: 24314"]I'm not picking out this poster, just the first post I came to with this advice. Dipping coins is very easy. There are several steps that I have posted before: 1. Evaluate the coin and decide what it needs or [COLOR=#b30000]if you should touch it at all[/COLOR]. 2. Prepare the surface to remove any contamination. 3. Dip the coin. 4. [B][COLOR=#b30000]NEUTRALIZE THE COIN WITH SODA![/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000]5. Rinse the coin thoroughly. 6. Dry it.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]This is usually done in an ultrasonic cleaner and deionized water is used in the rinse.[/COLOR] Compressed air or hot air dryer are used so nothing touches the coin. [COLOR=#000000]Each of these steps above can be expanded with details/methods. Perhaps there is more info than I can give here on the Internet. PS Practice, practice on junk coins.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
