I tried dipping with this same stuff for the first time and I’ve had mixed results. I just watched your video and am wondering how much better would it have been if I had bought body piercing forceps instead of the rubber tipped ones I have (no issues with spots, they just don’t grip very well) I got a little jar of the stuff and I didn’t know to swish it!
I had the 85 year old owner of my LCS dip my 1952 D, 1955, 1958, and 1958 D Washington quarters that had hideous pitch black almost terminal toning and they turned out great (with no evidence of dipping at all) and are all MS60 coins at least. The 1958 D might even be an MS63. They are all coins for my Dansco 8140, so I am not looking to sell them and only wanted them to match the rest of the coins. Most of the time, I like toning a lot, but these were so poorly toned that you could not see any detail and no attractive colors were present on them at all whatsoever. Generally speaking, he told me that they only time you can get good results from dipping are if the coins are AU50 and up. He also said that you cannot dip copper cents all that well.
You bet! There is a lot of bad information out there about coin cleaning and conservation. I try to bring transparent information to the public so that our coins continue to be protected and some of the myths may eventually begin to die off.
That was a great video on conservation of coins . My question is once you clean your coin and you send it to NGC or pcgs to get graded will they know its been cleaned .
No I'm a rare coin dealer. I buy and sell rare coins, but I also offer conservation services, and conservation advice. Its a very small part of my business.
So you did not follow Leroy Van Allen's instructions. You did not dip the coin in Baking Soda to Neutralize the Sulfuric Acid. So what does that coin look like today. My guess is it is turning Yellow Blue and Tan, especially in the reeds around the outside of the rim.
Leroy Van Allen says all Silver Dollars should be clean and have nothing on the surface of the coin. And if you think putting Sulfuric Acid on the Basining (polishing on fields that causes cartwheels) of a Morgan causes no harm you are plumb crazy All that coin needs is dish soap and a soft toothbrush, maybe some Crest Toothpaste and then Dish Soap According to Leroy Van Allen Morgan Dollars should not have anything on the surface of the coin no matter how old the coin is. Morgan's should NOT be dirty and dingy.
Toothpaste? Seriously? Toothpaste is an abrasive and would certainly leave hairline scratches. If you cleaned a coin with toothpaste and submitted it for grading I guarantee it would come back details.
@@MrFoleyRyan I guarantee you if you need to clean a coin it is not worth grading. I have brushed my teeth 63 years with toothpaste I assure you it is not harsh. And it you have Red Rouge and actually know what you are doing Hair Lines and Haze can be removed. But obviously you are not intelligent enough to use Red Rouge Silver Polish correctly. Next why would I, A PREPPER, A SILVER STACKER ever want a graded coin. $15 worth of silver and a $300 premium. I can buy 10 Morgan's for what you buy one. That is me getting $150 worth of silver where you are only getting $15 worth of silver. So you are a Coin Collector big whip tee do!

Should you do anything like soak a coin in water and soft dishwashing liquid just to get grease or light dirt off?
yes
and water and baking soda after you dip it
Thank you for bringing this issue up.

No can do 9-16 aspect ratio.
9:06 Why are you in the Ladies' room?
Stupid question. Move on.
Hello Sam, good channel. Would this e-Z-est liquid work on nickel plated cons as well?
I thought you're supposed to rinse with distilled water?
baking soda

That's just it. "Dipping" is NOT cleaning!
@@brucegodfrey2578 Correct
This is not considered cleaning in the eyes of the grading companies because it preserves the surface rather than damages it.
@@devastator665 I think there is more to the story than just that.
@@brucegodfrey2578 Technically it is called a chemical polish.
so you have a business doing what you just did in the video. "dipping a coin and rinsing it off" sign me up.
No I'm a rare coin dealer. I buy and sell rare coins, but I also offer conservation services, and conservation advice. Its a very small part of my business.
I use wooden tongs.
And a hair dryer...
Smart!
