[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 787134, member: 112"]mardan - you need to read my previous comments. Most of what you asked about has already been answered. With one exception - what dipping is and how it is done. It's quite simple, you take a coin and you dip it into the liquid. That's all there is to it. But, as I have said, if you dip it into the liquid for even 1 second too long - and the coin is ruined. Don't dip it long enough - and you have to dip it again. Now a half of a second may be too long. Dipping does not work on all coins. Meaning, the coin is not improved by dipping, it is instead made worse. The skill that is involved, the knowledge that must be yours before you ever dip a coin, is in knowing which coins should be dipped and which coins should not be dipped. And - in knowing precisely how long to leave them immersed in the dip to do the job, and yet not ruin the coin. These are things that cannot be explained in writing because it varies greatly with each and every coin. No two cases are ever identical. [U]This[/U] coin may not be capable of being improved while [U]that[/U] coin is. This coin may require 2 seconds of time while that one requires 3, and that one over there requires 1. And then you have to know which dip should be used for each coin as well. The rule is this, coin dips are acids. You should never use them without already having the experience needed to use them. And of course the only way you are ever going to get that experience is by ruining a lot of coins and throwing a lot of money away. You take it from there.[/QUOTE]
