<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3448603, member: 112&quot;]Off topic in regard to rinsing coins in water, yes. But off topic in regard to properly cleaning coins, no. Be that as it may, I&#039;ve already described proper rinsing methods after dipping a coin just a few posts up. And it was the rinsing method that you referenced as being a potential problem in post #45. The proper rinsing method is the same in all cases, one of two different ways to do it correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the rest of the dipping procedure, that&#039;s pretty complicated to describe because it depends on what dip solution you are using - they are all different; whether or not you are diluting the dip or using it full strength, the specific coin you are trying to dip, and what the coin has on it that you are hoping to successfully remove. In some&nbsp; cases what you need to do is first follow the other 3 steps starting with distilled water, then acetone, then xylene - and each one of those has to be done properly. Only then do you move on to dip, but only and if and when you determine that it is still necessary, or even a good idea. In other cases you can simply go straight to dipping the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to get across to you is that with each and every specific coin the procedure you follow is going to be different. So to do what you want, document a proper procedure, doing that would require a book&#039;s worth of typing coupled with pictures of specific coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I&#039;m talking about when I say there is lot to know when it comes to dipping coins successfully. It&#039;s something that requires a whole lot of experience and it should not even be attempted by someone who doesn&#039;t have it. But even if you do have it, quite often you will still end up with a coin that is not what you wanted, what you hoped, it would be. And in the worst case scenarios you&#039;ll end up with a ruined coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in the best case scenarios, assuming you know what you are doing, you can end up with an absolutely gorgeous coin, one that might easily triple or even quadruple in value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
