<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2648065, member: 80121&quot;]I would only dip a coin that is new but has a storage defect, such as the Eisenhower Dollars I mentioned or some of the earlier Proof Coins that developed a haze from the packaging. I only dip for a ew seconds and then rinse the coin immediately in running water. I would never dip a coin to remove toning, I&#039;m one of those collectors that will pay a premium for eye appealing toning. I also use acetone for PVC residue on coins. The coins are mine and if I want to engrave Mickey Mouse on them I can, the law says I own the coin and as long as I&#039;m not trying to commit fraud I can do anything I want to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I own a man-made mule done by a machinist that is an artist. He hollowed out a Sacagawea Dollar, trimmed the reeding off a quarter and snapped the quarter into the dollar. The fit is so perfect you have to really examine the coin to see where the two fit together. He sells them as novelties and the government leaves him alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
