<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 2410930, member: 14070"]It all depends on what strength dip you're using . I dilute mine with distilled water to 1/3 strength , I even have 1/4 strength which I use the most. If using full strength E Zest I wouldn't hold her in more than 2 seconds . You never know how many times the coin has been dipped before and the shortest dip possible to achieve what you want is prudent as if dipped before you can render it luster less in 2 seconds . Though I think the op got a great deal I wouldn't of dipped this coin as I feel it looked fine before . Remember to practice on common date dimes or Kennedys and do at least one coin as many times till you strip all the luster , you'll be amazed how a coin that looks like it has full cartwheel luster will have it's luster suddenly disappear with one more dip .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
