<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2019481, member: 26302"]Excellent write-up as usual Doug. The thing about going slow is you can do it in stages. I have had coins "going bad" as I lightened the toning, and I was able to stop. It didn't stop the damage from being there, but let me stop it being so glaringly obvious. However, it takes much longer. After a while I just quickly dipped all coins, and if it was ugly retoned them.</p><p> </p><p>Like you say, if you spend a LOT of time examining a coin you can USUALLY see if it will be bad or not, but never a guarantee. I have had coins I SWORE would be fine come out with major problems, and others I gave a 5% chance come out beautifully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
