<p>[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 100457, member: 1886"]Dipping which is typically done to remove toning/tarnish/rust, or whatever you wish to call it, reactivates the metal. It will tone again only faster and possibly in a way you find even less appealing than before. Yes toning, eats into metal especially dark toning. So does dipping and you don't know who's done it before or how many times. Done enough times dipping burns away the flow-lines and you lose the luster, the very thing most people who dip coins were trying to get more of--Poetic Justice. :desk:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
