And what would those opposed to any type of "coin conservation" suggest be done with these coins with original unmolested with patina?

 

 

 

Putting Obama stickers on those would be an upgrade

Those are pretty bad. No doubt the bottom one is a fountain coin.

Use them as pocket change

 

I agree. I'm betting most folks born after 1980 have never even seen an Ike.

I only read responses on the first page and very quickly skimmed the rest.

 

Personally, I hate dipped coins, and have never bought, owned or used even a single drop of coin dip. But this is a case where I think the coin "before" was butt ugly due to unnatural problems: a previous cleaning and poor job of recoloring. So, I don't mind that it has been stripped back. At least, the toning process has been "rebooted", and with any luck, JimBucks can put this coin into a suitable environment and let it rest and recover on its own. If a coin is going to end up being artificially toned (and what cleaned coins doesn't?), I'd prefer the artificial toning process to at least be as close to an original process as is feasible!

 

To put it another, more appropriate way, I dislike the "after" less than the "before".

 

Edited to add: I have paid to have coins professionally dipped in the past.
