A dip is an acid, and it removes the top layer of the surface that produces the luster. Do the acid process 1 time too long, or several times ( accumulated too long) and you have <b>damaged</b> the coin. There are several threads searchable to explain the key factors. I should add, that many if not most bright silver coins have been dipped at least once in the past. An experienced dipper can tell if there is possibly enough left to do it one more time. An inexperienced person , may not, and do the fatal dip...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
