jbuck Moderator United States 189130 Posts	Posted 06/29/2016 11:35 am Quote: I think it was dipped (maybe in a misguided attempt to remove the carbon spots). I agree. An acid thiourea dip will turn a cent Pepto pink. Quote: It was dipped.,. What does that mean? Dipping a coin in an acid thiourea solution. Example brands are Tarn-X, EZ-EST, Jeweluster... http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...5-ounce.html Typically only used with silver, it strips the outermost layer of metal from the coin so it will remove toning. It is generally discouraged unless you really, really, really know what you are doing. Leaving a coin in too long (the margin of error being fractions of a second) will ruin any remaining luster.
