<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 162510, member: 3011"]Okay, thanks. It's just that I occasionally see some completely white EF an VF morgans with pretty good price discounts because of the cleaning/dipping and it's tempting to buy one and just put it away to retone naturally if that would recover most of the value lost from the cleaning. Some of these cleaned circulated morgans look pretty good [to me at least] except that they are unnaturally white.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've also thought about experimenting by purchasing a discounted dipped EF silver dollar and carrying it around in my pocket <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> for awhile to perhaps turn it into a nice VF. I figure the additional wear will remove traces of cleaning in a few months; after all, that's how they get into that condition in the real world in the first place. It's sort of a low-tech coin restoration technique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
