<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3447548, member: 112&quot;]When using coin dips, the proper procedure is that after the dip is used you thoroughly rinse the coin the in a mixture of distilled water and baking soda. The baking soda neutralizes any remaining dip solution. Then you proceed with the final and thorough distilled water rinses, vigorously swishing the coin around to remove any and all remaining contaminants. Or - after the baking soda rinse, you rinse the coin under running tap water, holding it an angle so it can wash away any contaminants, and then follow with a final, vigorous rinse in distilled water. And then stand the coin on edge to allow it to dry.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, I always recommend that drying method. Using a cloth or towel to blot a coin dry can sometimes result in a few hairlines or lint being stuck on the coin, and with some coins that&#039;s the last thing in the world you ever want to do ! If you use the method I recommend those potential problems disappear.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I have said over and over and over, when it comes to dipping coins there is a LOT one needs to know. An dipping should never be attempted by those who do not have the required experience. Yeah, you might get lucky and it&#039;ll come out OK. But the odds are good bit higher that you won&#039;t, and that someplace down the road the price for the mistakes will be paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish to learn how to properly dip coins - find somebody that knows how and have them teach you ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
