Coin Dip

[coinman_23885]

I have a Morgan Dollar that was improperly dipped by its previous owner, and now the tell tale signs are visible. I am planning to dip the coin. What solution (i.e. brand name) do you recommend?

First, don't automatically assume it must be redipped! MS70 may be a safer alternative. Before even that, try simple acetone.

 

Yesterday, I acetoned a gunky Morgan dollar, and one quick and simple rinse removed all the garbage. (It was not a particularly expensive one, however.)

Thank you for the suggestions. I will definitely try acetone first, and then MS70 (if unsuccessful). I appreciate your help.

E-z-est is what what I use but rarely. I agree with acetone first, there is no risk and it's always worth a try.

 

MS70 is powerful stuff but it won't take any metal off like dip will.

The term "Dip" always reminds me of Roger Rabbit! !

Where would I get some MS70 online?

[CyberspaceVoid]

mtnstyne,

just do a search online ... there are quite a few places ... costs about $10 a bottle

If the coin is improperly dipped, I recomend MS70 over acetone, because it will neutralize the acid, in addition to removing residue.

Good info, I really use MS70 but I do have a bottle, Acetone first.

MS70 did the trick. Thanks for the advice.
