<p>[QUOTE="longshot, post: 2352471, member: 76266"]A product called e z est coin cleaner is a popular dip and readily available online and at coin shops. Many will tell you never to clean a coin so proceed at your own risk. You might consider just selling this one and buying a brilliant one. As far as properly dipping a coin there are different ideas and techniques, but basically the idea is to immerse the coin in the solution for a second or two (or three) then immediately rinse very well with running water...no rubbing!.... then carefully pat dry with a soft towel without any rubbing or friction. Then a dip in pure acetone will help remove any moisture. You can use the search feature here to find threads on properly dipping a coin. It's not rocket science, just stick with low value uncirculated coins, and most of us would leave cleaning of expensive coins to the experts. Repeated or prolonged dipping will strip the luster off a coin and devalue or ruin it. Even if the toning isn't totally removed after a couple of quick dips I usually quit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
