<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7796283, member: 112&quot;]While I can&#039;t say it with certainty, the nickel you posted a pic of appears to have already been permanently damaged by the toning - meaning the toning/corrosion has eaten into the surface of the coin. You could use coin dip and remove the black but what you&#039;ll see when you do is a pitted and corroded surface - permanently damaged in other words. And no, there is nothing that can be done to fix it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is, experience is an absolute must when using coin dip. So don&#039;t ever try unless you know what you&#039;re doing. And using coin dip is always a crap shoot because you never know what you&#039;re gonna see once you remove what you&#039;re trying to get off the coin. In other words, irreparable damage may have already been done. But, you don&#039;t know that until you do it. And if done correctly, proper dipping can make a coin beautiful again. And sometimes, significantly increase the value of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for opening the cases, that&#039;s been explained by others already.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
