<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lagaidh, post: 1083976, member: 28769&quot;]I&#039;ve always condoned proper dipping on mint state coins. Hell, once you&#039;ve ruined a good roll of dimes practicing, you really can gain a knack for it. I wish I had before pictures for some of the silver I&#039;ve restored. I personally only know how to do silver properly. I have no idea how to do nickel, would be afraid to do it to gold and never achieve decent results with copper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I remember the S.S. South America debacle with PCGS slabbing coins previously covered in <span style="color: red">edited</span>... &quot;Oh this is different. The coin wasn&#039;t cleaned. It was curated.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mm. Hmm. Just practice your technique on relatively low-worth coins. With practice you&#039;ll be getting PCGS to slab your dipped offerings. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Disclaimer: I think it is wrong to try and clean a coin to make it something it is not. That is why I originally stated that I will only clean mint state coins. Removing tarnish, or even surface debris from an otherwise uncirculated coin is not passing the coin off as something that it is not. I get ruffled at several sellers on eBay passing off dipped AU58 Washington Quarters as &quot;Choice Gem Select Premium Deluxe Faux Luxury Brilliant Uncirculated ++&quot;. You know it&#039;s quality if they add the plusses amirite?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
