"Frank Provasek" wrote in message . com... Likely MS62 if carefully dipped. Frank, by "carefully dipped", what do you mean? Dip it quick and rinse it proper is the only ways to carefully dip that I know. Also, do you think the coin will be luster impaired? It looks too clean of marks to get as low as 62, unless you are thinking that it has dulled luster, either already or after a dip. Oh yeah, imo.

I had the same question, but the question remains. You say "Don't leave it in too long" but how long is too long? 2 seconds? 20 seconds? A dip designed to remove tarnish (such as Tarn-X) will remove the tarnish almost instantly. You really shouldn't need to immerse the coin for more than a couple of seconds. Since the active ingredient in these dips is usually acidified thiourea (dissolves siver sulfate), some dippers will dunk the coin into a solution of baking soda dissolved in water to neutralize the dip and stop the reaction. This should be followed by a thorough rinse with distilled water. The coin should then be allowed to air dry or you can pat it dry with a clean, soft cloth....do not rub. Note: the label on a bottle of Tarn-X says that thiourea has been identified by the State of California as a possible carcinogen so you may want to wear rubber gloves.(if you live in California) ;-) ++++++++++ Phil DeMayo - always here for my fellow Stooge When bidding online always sit on your helmet Just say NO to counterfeits |
