[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3009745, member: 5233"]Yes, we have discussed that before and it's an interesting idea. I think the fact that there is a commercially available silver dipping solution (solutions) on the market tends to skew this belief. As we have discussed...the issue of dipping copper coins is somewhat of a "trade secret" among some people. I know someone here (may have been you Doug) claimed they witnessed it successfully done but didn't know what was used. I also understand that the number of red coppers in existence and the relative reactivity of the metal does seem suspicious as well...and is evidence that something is being done. How it's being done...I haven't a clue. What about gold? I know gold doesn't tone much and usually when it does it is subtle and attractive and left alone. But, is there a dip out there that will remove the oxide layer from a gold coin?[/QUOTE]
