<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2182176, member: 112&quot;]Yeah you could, but I&#039;d bet money it would be a waste of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the dipping, it&#039;s coins like this that are good to learn with. For all intents and purposes the coin is already ruined (the corrosion you can see on the obv), so you&#039;re not gonna hurt it any if you screw up while trying to dip it.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is somebody who had that coin previously was concerned about dipping it, so they only &quot;shallow dipped&quot; it - meaning in a shallow enough pool just in the bottom of a bowl or whatever so that only 1 side of the coin would be affected. Then when they saw the corrosion already there that was caused by the terminal toning, they decided the heck with it and gave up, leaving it as it is now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even under the very best of circumstances dipping a coin is always a crap shoot, because you never know what you&#039;re gonna see underneath what you dip off. There may be a gem hiding under there or it may be a corroded mess. But of you&#039;re careful with your dipping and do it correctly you&#039;re not gonna hurt the coin, even if it is a gem.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it is a certainty that if you do not dip it, the toning will destroy the coin. Just a matter of time because you can never stop it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if it were me, I&#039;d dip that sucker and learn what I could from it, for the next time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
