DIPPING CLAD IKE DOLLARS

supracoin

DOES DIPPING CLAD IKE DOLLARS HURT THE GRADE OR THE VALUE OF THE COIN? I HAVE A FEW HUNDRED ROLLS AND MADE THE MISTAKE OF PUTTING SOME OF THEM IN THE SOFT FLIPS. SOME OF THEM HAVE DEVELOPED A FILM OR HAZE THAT WASNT THERE PRIOR. I KNOW NOT TO STORE THEM IN SOFT FLIPS AGAIN. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Try acetone first, and rinse it carefully with distilled water. Other posts in the archive detail the process.

I have dipped clad ikes in cleaner, and the results stunk.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO DIP CLAD COINAGE.

BY THE WAY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO HIT YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY.

DON'T - essentially the acid in most dips will react with the "clad metals" and ruin the coins - if you gonna do it anyway, practice on some culls to see what happens 1st, but I doubt you'll like the result

IT DOESN'T MATTER SINCE PCI WILL GRADE THEM ALL PR70 ANYWAY AND YOU CAN SELL THEM WITH AN "AUCTION VALUE" OF $150,000.

Russ, is that a price that indicates the potential asset value of the coin measured within the proximal relationship of existing price guide dynamics?

IT CAN GRADE PROOF WHEN IT'S A PROOF.

CAN SOMEBODY TURN DOWN THE VOLUME IN HERE?! I CAN'T HERE MYSELF THINK!

Supra, I wouldn't recommend it. Each time I've dipped out a Mint State Ike (50% Jeweluster/ 50% distilled water followed up with a flow of distilled water) the coin looses its original skin and each and every mint made defect and post mint scratch, tic or mark is magnified. The "MS65 Look" is gone and I'm left with what appears to be a commercial Unc.

GEEZ

Huh! I am puzzled. I have never had any problems using jeweluster on clad coins. I'm talking less than a second.

I dipped one, I couldn't tell a difference.

Give it time

so true, so true.
you might think your dipped clad coins look great at first, and they do, but, soon enough afterwards
they will develope unnatural colors patterns.
some will call it rainbow toning and tell you its a more vauable coin because of it.
not true. most knowledgable coin people can tell the diference between natural and unnatural
toning on clad coins. and thats a whole other topic to debate as well.

dip those hazy clad puppies in acetone if you do dip them.
word to the wise.

supracoin

i took a low grade ike and tried to dip it. like many have said, the color changed and it definety does not look natural. dipping the coin also revealed alot of marks that were not visible prior to dipping.

Shamika

That's better.
