<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 1880728, member: 14070"]Jewel luster is fine , I'd dilute it 50% with distilled water . Never use tap water on your coins just distilled . I'd also have some latex gloves and eye protection . Rubber tipped tweezers are needed , they make plastic ones just for coins . Dip the coin into the solution for 3 seconds and rinse , if further cleaning is desired dip one more time . Remember you are removing the top layer of the coin , so repeated dips will have a cumulative effect and could turn the coin into a lifeless coin devoid of luster.</p><p>One of the most important points of dipping is to know what coins can actually benefit and which won't . That's why you should practice on MS coins only worth melt , never on any collector coins . This is the method most dealers and tpgs use so it is the only one I'd use . Good luck and I'd sure like to see your results .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
