<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 430024, member: 1242"]I somewhat agree! In that, I mean that I would run the coin through the liquid Silver Cleaner (Gray tub with wash basket inside) sold at WalMart's Jewelry Department instead of using the dip sold by Coin Dealers and Coin Suppliers for dipping coins. The reason is because the Silver Cleaner from WalMart doesn't normally leave that overdipped look to a coin unless you clean a coin numerous times with it or leave the coin in the solution too long. In the case of the 1914 Barber Dime, it is hideous and I would much rather have a coin that looked like it was dipped than one that looked as if someone crapped on it! I am not condoning cleaning every Silver coin that you have with the Silver Cleaner! However, there are many coins of which some kind of cleaning is warranted and if that cleaning can do no worse to the appearance of the coin than what the enviroment in which it was stored has already done, then why not clean the coin??!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
