<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 831002, member: 13650"]If you want, do some experiments with some common, or damaged coins and see what the results are. A common date, circulated Morgan in G condition, will likely forever be at melt value. It already basically has one foot in the melting pot so to speak. So it's not a big deal if you try dipping it or cleaning it and seeing if you can make it look 'naturally' shiny. It will always be worth the silver melt value anyway. What might be helpful, is to have another Morgan that (supposedly) has not been cleaned, and is in a TPG slab, nearby for you to compare with. I think you'll see the difference between natural luster and the cleaned coin pretty well. Next try an old dirty Lincoln out and see what happens. I don't think it's that easy. I dipped a Morgan in acetone once for quite a while and it didn't do much. It still came out black.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
