<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1341752, member: 75105&quot;]Recently I purchased a Morgan dollar at an auction with what I thought was toning. Did not realize until I got home under a bright light, and with the help of this forum, that it was a result of bad dipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have used a home made silver dip before, you bring boiling water to a boil, add baking soda and salt, and with the item in a bowl with aluminum foil, pour the boiling mixture over the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>This usually does a good job of stripping tarnish from silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>However when I poured the silver cleaner on the peace dollar, it DID remove the bad dipping, but left an ugly brownish-pink color in splotches on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what went wrong, another silver coin I had in with it turned out good. Only thing I can think of that the chemical used in the dip reacted with my homemade cleaner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
