<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 26539526, member: 112&quot;]There&#039;s basically two topics in this thread - dipping and proper coin storage. Both of which have been discussed ad infinitum here on the forum. </p><p><br /></p><p>The first, dipping, it should only be attempted by those who know what they are doing and have considerable experience doing it. While it is completely safe to dip a coin for those with the requisite knowledge and experience, it is also very easy to damage or ruin a coin for those who not have it. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is much to know, and many nuances to be familiar with, chief among them, learning how to identify which coin should be dipped, and which should not. </p><p><br /></p><p>The second, proper storage, the things you need to do and not do are pretty basic for the most part. Store them in individual inert containers, (coin holders), and then store those inert containers inside another and larger inert container that can be sealed. And place silica gel packs inside the larger container to absorb moisture from the air inside that container, and of course replace them or recharge as necessary. And don&#039;t ever place anything that is not inert inside that container. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do that, and your coins will remain pretty much as they are for your lifetime, and maybe beyond.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this and more is discussed in detail in numerous threads. Search them out, read them, and take them to heart. Search terms are pretty simple - &#039;proper coin storage&#039;&nbsp; and &#039;dipping a coin&#039; and or &#039;coin dip&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
