[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2013643, member: 15199"]Just on a theory discussion level, I suspect silver dip wouldn't have a good effect if it is an nickel oxide rather than a sulfide. I would experiment with a [B]dilute[/B] Nic-a-date type of solution as a dip if I was inclined to take a chance. That said, I do not believe the risk is worth it on this coin, the obverse might be enhanced slightly, but the reverse is too deeply corroded, that even a dip would not help and might even reveal more damage, either way, it will be visible and at best detailed.[/QUOTE]
