[QUOTE="longshot, post: 7954835, member: 76266"]I've tried the q-tip route, don't recommend it. There is always a bit of uncertainty involved in dipping a coin, and it looks like I'm going against the general opinion here but... if there is plenty of luster a really quick dip followed by an immediate rinse will often remove the smudge if it is light without any negative effects to the coin. We've all seen overdipped coins, and they're not pretty, but many certified, lustrous coins have been successfully dipped, we just don't know it. But I agree, one should practice with low value coins before attempting anything with valuable coins. Get a lustrous 1964 quarter that has toned and a jar of EZest, and try it before you attempt anything nicer. (I think everyone who is into coins should do this just for the education.) JMHO[/QUOTE]
