Message:: [QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 849083, member: 19884"]If I can tear you away from your BSA commemorative speculation <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have a question I hope you can help me with. I don't like to dip coins, and can count on one hand how many times I've done it.  But I was just at a local coin shop going through a big tub of mostly buffalo nickels marked $1.50.  I then saw a really nice 1942-P nickel.  It looked B.U., but I thought, "can't be or it wouldn't be here".  Then I saw three more and realized that someone must have brought in part of a B.U. roll at one time and they got dumped in the $1.50 jug.  Soooo hard to see because the lighting in there is atrocious and flourescent. So I bought them all and now I've got these war nickels, and they do look B.U., but B.U. should stand for "butt ugly" because they have a horrific looking toning. Like I say, I've swirled a 90% silver coin in my time without burning off the luster, but these are only partly silver.  So...do I dip, or should I just forget the whole idea?  2 seconds?  5 seconds? TIA, Steve[/QUOTE]
