Don't let it hit anything hard like a wall. (I'm waiting for another typical response to your answer such as this from the 80% here who cannot comprehend English).

 

More insults and more attacks from Insider. My use of the word "too" is correct. Please check your dictionary. Why do you need to act like this? Why all the lying?

 

I want a physical address so I can send a money order from the outer reaches of planet earth.

 

I don't do that any more.

EVERYONE including me knows that you can RUIN a coin with dip if you dip it too long or too many times. I'm just sick of people saying that a short dip ruins a coins luster. When done PROPERLY it does not. That goes for multiple dips. Eventually (everyone knows) you WILL ruin its luster. Have you tried it yet?

 

I am blessed with considerable grip strength and tactile coordination - for a small person; I'm hardly "burly" - and I trust my feel when holding a coin implicitly. Not necessarily a practice I'd recommend as a generalization.

OTOH, blown air has considerable hazards as an alternative, so my way might not appropriately work for a given reader.

 

Did you bother to look in the dictionary for the use of the word "too"?

 

Sorry, can't help you with this...I actually exist only as a disturbance in a field of electrons. Perhaps a PM to Peter the website owner might help you.

 

OK guys and girls, too many reports coming in about certain personalities, so stop the cat fights. Thread has moved to the moderators attention. This warning will be considered a stop sign, run it and infractions can occur, no Matter who said what before!

 

Hey SuperDave...would YOU BELIEVE THAT I HAVE "blown" a few coins several feet across the lab before? Even a Proof or two! When you pick them up CAREFULY and rinse them off again it is a miracle that 99% don't a mark on them! Coins are tougher than we believe - I KNOW. Reminds me of a song..."That's what rims are for, keep ...

 

Yep, right above "TOOK." I'm smart enough to look up things before I post so I can troll the uninformed!

 

Please tell us what it said.

 

Happy Now? I am ...and don't forget to look for my posts about dies and luster real soon so you learn where the "cartwheel luster" on coins comes from. Lots of misinformation on that subject and die polishing on CT.

 

OMG! I guess I need to spell it out. Final request or close the pie holes please...

T e l l m e o n e c o n t r a d i c t i o n I have made regarding COINS please. Remembe, that's C-O-I-N-S. And STILL NO ANSWERS from all the "Ex"-"Perts."

Sure wish I was staying up long enough to "write" a bedtime story about what causes "cartwheel luster" on coins; but you'll need to wait a while longer UNLESS you have The ANA's Correspondence Course: Grading Mint State U.S. Coins by J.P. Martin. But what does he know about it for the ANA to publish. I'd rather read the OPINIONS posted here.

 

Must be similar to Tarn-X. Good for knives & forks. That may be why I never heard of it. The spots may come about because the coin was not neutralized/dried properly OR (bet this is the case) the oxidation was severe enough (black) to have etched the underlying surface leaving dull, gray, etched patches on silver.

 

Thought you were going beddie-bye. I was just looking on Wizard Coin Supply and they offered both EZest and Speedip. I get the impression that Speedip is just industrial strength EZest. Here is what they say on the site:
"E-Z-Est Coin Cleaner (formerly known as Jeweluster) is one of the most widely used agents for brightening coins and removing grime, discoloration or unsightly blemishes. For a slightly stronger concentration, try E-Z-Est Speedip instead. Available in 10 ounce bottles or 1 gallon jugs. NOTE: The gallon jug size cannot be shipped through the US Postal Service; please select FedEx delivery and provide a street address to avoid delay in your order. This product cannot be shipped internationally (in either size)."

 

Thanks, and right now. I love Jewel Luster glad to know I've still been using the stuff - just new name. I'm going to order the other stuff to experiment with on some junk metal. Good Night.

 

night-night

 

No I'm not happy. You insulted the hell out of me over nothing. Look up the word and tell us what it says.
