<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 257605, member: 4552&quot;]Please note the original statement was UNCIRCULATED coins. That is why the grading services did not notice the slight dip. The coin was already pretty much clean to begin with. I&#039;ve seen this done many times for uncirc coins at coin shows. One particular dealer told me they dip all brand new uncirculated coins and any they send in for grading come back not saying cleaned because they really were not cleaned. </p><p>I too see nothing wrong with dipping a very, very already uncirculated and clean coin to make it look a slight bit prettier. Selling such a coin is still not selling a cleaned coin. </p><p>However, this all depends on the coins of course. This is like taking a 500 year old table worth a lot of money and just dusting it off from household dust. However, no one in thier right mind would sand it down and then spray paint it with Walmart spray paint. Sort of the same thing here with coins.</p><p>One more thing though is the usage of even such things as Eze-Est or Acetone is the purity of the solution. One should always attempt to verify the purity of these cleaning agents. I&#039;ve warned people many times that if you use the same solution over and over, you may be slowly accumulating damaging agents in the solution from each coin. This would mean even a brief dip may put something on a coin that if left would possibly damage the coin. Also, note the shelf life of such cleaning agents may have had time to accumulate the material on the inside of a can. Therefore any dipping or cleaning could ruin valuable coins but if already uncirculated and not to much in value, worth a&nbsp; try maybe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
