Dipping Coins

[bigmanSAM88]

I recently bought some 60's proof sets in capital plastic holders, and I noticed that some of the coins have a little bid of spotting. I was wondering if dipping a coin would be an OK way to get rid of the spotting without causing harm to the coin. Also, if you know a good method for dipping or a good product all insight is appreciated. Thanks

You might want to try MS-70 first. It's a strong detergent that can help. Don't use it on copper, though.

I have tried jewel luster. It works good, but doesn't garrantee on those spots tho'. Those could be from a former dip that wasn't cleaned or dried properly.

Dipping the silver coinage properly should be fine.

What would be considered a proper way to dip the coin? How do you hold the coin and dip it in the solution. I have never seen this done so I'm just trying to get a good handle on it before I try it with any of my coins. Thanks

It best to use coin tongs. http://www.amosadvantage.com/scottonline...0A3HRG4GRDN6QLC

A que tip can work best for spots - repeated tap tap with it but be careful not to scratch the coin. Repeated working it with jewel luster has been effective for me.
