[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 26763457, member: 13650"]After action report These Morgans and Peace are some I inherited from an old collection from a long time ago. This was a varied assortment of toning and problems to try out. They were melt value before and are melt value now so there was little risk here. I got some E-Zest coin dip to see what it could do. In short, my assessment is that it can improve the look but does not work miracles. The lighter the tone is, the better the chance you have of improving the coin. The most improved was the 1922 Peace at the top left corner. It actually has cartwheel luster again. It has an original look to it and looks like some that get graded MS. Some had longer dips than others based on what I was trying to get removed. The reversed Peace dollar had a lot of black staining on the back and I over-dipped it for about 20 seconds to get it that good but can definitely can tell it's over dipped now. It's bright but no luster. It did remove most of the black staining but still not a great looking coin. The 1921 Morgan at the bottom had had an Acetone bath a long time ago. It wasn't too bad to begin with. I gave it five seconds and rinsed. It's ok but has a dipped, non-original look to it as expected. The Sterling silver shilling had very little change. The two dark Morgans in the middle, there was very little improvement from the dip. The 79 was a little better but nothing to get excited about.[/QUOTE]
