<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2392874, member: 70703&quot;]So I finally took the plunge and gave the ole&#039; dip trick a whirl today.</p><p><br /></p><p>A 1972 Silver Ike proof, which I&#039;m 99% sure was pulled from the same type of plastic case. You&#039;ll see in the pics it had &quot;that haze&quot; they are well known for. Mine wasn&#039;t AS hazy, but it was certainly noticeable. Used EZest ([USER=307]@mikenoodle[/USER] and [USER=16994]@LostDutchman[/USER]&nbsp; inspired me to give it a try <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) I think for being my first go at it that I can log it as a success. I still see a bit of haze left, but for the most still a good looking coin. The pics below are same coin just different lighting situations.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]491773[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]491774[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The process I used was the exact same as what Mike covered on the last episode of the coin show. I had been wanting to try this, but just needed the nudge.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only difference I had was I live out in a rural area. In order to refrain from using softened well water I heated up some distilled water and after the dip I rinsed the coin by pouring the hot water from one container over the coin into a different container and back....multiple times.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]491780[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]491779[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
