Have You Dipped A Coin?

I haven't, because you all told me not too.

I'll admit to dipping some uncirc nickels and clad dimes to get the mint "wash" off before I put them into my dansco. All common dates, all dipped for less than 5 seconds, all rinsed with de-ionized water, and then acetone. I have absolutely no regrets.

Whats the difference between cleaning and dipping? Can you tell if a coin has been dipped in acetone?

Rachums107 Acetone used properly no one will know. I use it on cents, that come from circulation. Now if someone left a coin in E-Z Zest (Dip) to long or dipped it one to many times you would tell, But if the right coin and used properly you wouldn't be able to tell. Thats where the luck of the draw comes into play.
I started this to get a better feel of what people are doing, I'm not sure if you would call me new to collecting, its only been a few years. Maybe fresh or still wet behind the ears lol you could say.
