    Have you ever tried to dip white a Franklin from a Treasury Mint Set? For whatever reason, it just doesn't work 99% of the time. I only wish it was that easy!

    You need to use the right stuff to dip. Potassium Cyanide in a weak solution is a reducing agent for silver and silver compounds. My only experience here was dipping out an ugly ol Morgan dollar bright white and then retoning it in a taco bell napkin Funny; (BTW the toning is happening nicely and its been in place for two years going on march.. Ill reimage it then and compare with the photos of a year ago.

    But since I dont mess with toned silver, franklins etc.......maybe I dont know what the heck Im talking about image
