<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 682490, member: 112&quot;]That depends on if you know how to use it or not. And since you&#039;re asking - you obviously don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>All commercial coin dips will strip a layer of metal from the coin. Their main active ingredient is an acid - that&#039;s why they work when trying to remove toning, some spots, stains, discoloration etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin dips can turn even the most lusterous coins into flat, washed out, dead looking coins that have zero luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, they can turn an ugly, discolored and stained coin into a thing of beauty.</p><p><br /></p><p>It all depends on the person doing the dipping. Do it just the exact right amount of time for the given coin and everybody is happy. Do it for 1 second, and I mean 1 second, too long for the given coin - and you end up with a hunk of junk silver worth spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, do you want to risk that ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or would you rather just sell the coin you have for what you can get for it and buy another one that you are happy with ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The problem with coin dips is this - they require a user with a lot of experience. And no, I don&#039;t mean experience dipping the coin in the liquid - any 4 year old can do that. The experience that is required is being able to recognize exactly what coins can be benefitted by dipping them and which ones can&#039;t. <b>AND</b> - knowing precisely how long to dip the coin to acomplish the goal. And with every single coin there is, the circumstances are different.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you have to know a lot, and have a great deal of experience with dipping coins or you will screw the pooch. Of course, you could also be very lucky and have it all work out too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, in the immortal words of Eastwood - do ya feel lucky ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
