<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 304342, member: 8033&quot;]Interesting link.</p><p>Read it.</p><p>Still can&#039;t say I agree with it but see your point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wanna know what really bothered me about it? He dipped the coin in Jewel luster. I hope the hell he truly did it right on a truly rare coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, eye appeal is important to the vast majority of people. The &quot;black&quot; Frankins I mentioned way back when are indeed ugly to me. I wouldn&#039;t buy them but if someone slabs them they must see something in them that others don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it&#039;s whatever floats your boat. You stated that you don&#039;t condone dipping and I&#039;m glad of that. Too many nice coins could be ruined because of that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my CoinTalk infancy I asked about a cleaner called Blue Ribbon. Yes, I used it and it&#039;s not a &quot;silver&quot; dip. It was designed to remove dirt (only) and leave a protective coat. </p><p><br /></p><p>My local dealer has used it for years and had same coins slabbed by PCGS. Apparently some environmental concerns with it&#039;s composition so it&#039;s hard to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point here is that I was not &quot;changing&quot; the appearance of the coin just preserving it. Believe me Blue Ribbon does not really clean a coin or alter appearance.</p><p>People were ripping me for using it but dipping a coin is okay I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever,</p><p>The coin was hazy and now it looks great but it will never be original again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
