Good analysis, @paralyse. Definitely don't try dipping copper, you cannot win.

Coin tongs (dip-safe metal tongs with rubberized protector pads) are the main thing. You can pick them up at Wizard Coin Supply or your online coin shop of choice for a few dollars.
I don't recommend contacting dip directly with your skin, but it can happen, and I haven't personally observed any side effects after washing my hands with soap.

So where does Verdicare and Classic Coin Conditioner figure into the "dipped" equation? This is a very interesting thread. Learning is good!

Putting any amount of water with E-Z-Est reduces it's ability to remove tarnish. Water is only used when rinsing off the solution. I have used this product since 1972.
Verdicare won't change the color of the coin so it is safe and not considered dipping. Same with Acetone which works great removing gunk and tape residue.

tough call on this one for me. I'm not 100% certain on this one. not sure why though. just looking at the color distribution on the obv its saying lightly re-colored to me then add that to the blotch color on the reverse. the coin looks MS imo. lets get a couple other opinions on it.

I think that the biggest thing that hurts this coin and also makes it harder to grade is the reverse toning and luster. Luster is often difficult to capture from simply looking at a picture. I think the obverse can make MS-64. I can't get a good feel for the reverse or if the color is questionable from just looking at the pictures. Looks like a nice coin in my opinion. I'd be happy even calling it a 63.

Good job with the images. I'll venture a MS64BN.

Still MS65BN. Nice coin.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Send her in for grading.

I'll be getting together a PCGS submission after the first of the year. I'll probably include this coin, so we'll see what they think.
