<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2000387, member: 26302"]Doug, you ever have much luck dipping to remove layers? I tried it with mixed success. A "solution" for this coin could be a dip in a diluted mixture to only remove some of the toning if the OP really wanted to try to keep it "toned". In my experience what happens, though, is the worst of both worlds, the pretty stuff goes away and the dark stuff just lightens up a bit. I had a couple of coins turn out pretty, the rest had to be redipped to white, so I abandoned the idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not positive this coin has corrosion underneath. I am more 50/50. I do think, though, with PERFECT conditions it can be stopped. Its just hard to maintain such conditions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> If someone thinks its worth a premium as is I would slab it and sell it and buy myself a lighter specimen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
