<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25501403, member: 134416&quot;]Yes, I concur.&nbsp; Using a product which I don&#039;t know how to use and don&#039;t really want to use doesn&#039;t make much sense, especially since the dip residue might be causing the discoloration in the first place.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took another look at the coin under magnification again and sure enough, people who are saying there are holes are correct.&nbsp; I spotted the discrepancies in the photograph but I chalked it up to my crappy photography. There are indeed holes at pretty much every point where there&#039;s some crappy toning. There&#039;s also a tiny hole or two under the date.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really hate these staple flips.&nbsp; I should have just gotten the coin out right away and put it in a regular flip, only it&#039;s such a pain to remove these things and I didn&#039;t want to risk scratching it in the effort to get it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient silver doesn&#039;t violently tone right away.&nbsp; Does this dip gunk cause this side effect?</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though I don&#039;t have much interest in American coins, and it would cost as much as the coin&#039;s worth,&nbsp; as a respect to a historical artifact at some point in the near future I&#039;ll try and send it off to someone who can conserve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>That will be my project for this week; to get the coin out of the crappy staple flip and into a regular flip.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I should contact Insider, as suggested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
