<p>[QUOTE="longshot, post: 2299282, member: 76266"]On using a coin dip - A quick dip will usually remove a recent fingerprint or some light unattractive toning. In my experience the heavier/darker and more uneven the toning on a coin the more likely you won't like the results if you start to mess with it. I'm sure we all have stories, I'm thinking of a nice uncirculated 1934 Peace dollar I have that had a couple tiny spots that bothered me. I was advised to put a little dip on the spots for a few seconds, then dip the whole coin. After a couple of tries lets just say that overall the coin was not improved, there is a lot to be said for just finding a coin you are happy with before you buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
