Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2350944, member: 112"]Dipping it in what exactly ? And yeah, I'm asking for the name of the commercial dip you use to do this. The folks who have been around here a while have seen this picture many times. And it's obviously not a silver coin, and no the coin didn't even have any luster as it was well circulated long before I ever got it. And this little experiment didn't even have anything to do trying to remove toning, it was about something else entirely, namely the lines on the coin. But, this does serve to illustrate a point. This coin was dipped by me in Tarn-X, a commercial coin dip, (no dilution) for less than 1 second. The results speak for themselves and can be duplicated by anybody who cares to go to the store buy some Tarn-X and dip a well toned coin in it and remove as fast as they possibly can. [ATTACH=full]478678[/ATTACH] Now if it can do THAT in less than 1 second, what do you suppose it would do to luster on BU coin ? And anybody who wants can buy some Tarn-X, take a BU silver coin, and dip half of it like I did this penny. But do it for say 3 seconds, and then post a picture. And we'll see for ourselves exactly what it does. Like I said before, the specific dip you use, and whether you dilute it or not, will yield vastly different results.[/QUOTE]
