[QUOTE="USS656, post: 3788275, member: 6641"]Thanks Doug! My only thought is you never know what journey a coin will take in it's life and I would always like to think it will be a long one with many future collectors beyond me. The black toning while it has done damage, will continue to do more as it progresses. I know a circulated coin dipped that has already had bad toning will not look very good to a collector when it is done. Careful dipping can at least stop the damage if done right. Over time, retoned in a better/monitored environment might create a more appealing circulated/cleaned coin. While most serious collectors would never consider them, a YN or collector new to the hobby might find them appealing when buying with a limited budget. This is me overthinking it, I know. The Kennedy, Washington, and top of the Peace are just not attractive and have gone beyond what you want to see in toning. That said, they are all now in flips which is right where I plan to leave them. The next guy can decide what to do if they do not like where they are at. Lets hope it's another 30 or 40 years before we have to worry about it.[/QUOTE]
