Dipping question please

uofa1285

Can only one side of a Morgan be properly dipped, while keeping the other side untouched? Properly, to the point of the dipping itself not affecting whether it is holdered or not?

Thanks, Doug

I would imagine if you have a steady enough hand you could put the coin into the solution just enough to cover one side but not touch the other and then rinse it.

I think there was a thread about this before. Not sure if PCGS would grade it or not though.

i did this just the other day and it is quite easy - dipping NOT cleaning

use your fingers or a pair of coin tongs with rubber grips on the ends

Why do you wish to dip only one side?? Is it dirt/contamination? If so, acetone will usually remove that without affecting tarnish, and is not considered a dip (one that removes metal). Cheers, RickO

One way would be to coat one side of the coin with vaseline providing you have a means of removing it afterwards. Also those little spring loaded planchet holders that are commonly used in radiochem labs.

Well, one side has a round "felt" toned area that is distracting. The grade of the coins are 64 to 65 and worth the trouble, I think.

So, would acetone help with removing the "felt" toned area and still allow the coin to be slabbed in a big 2 holder?

Thanks again.

It can be done but it takes practice. NCS can do conservation on one side if requested.

Thanks all.

Yes. Acetone or MS70 depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. Q-Tip....BUT NO RUBBING OR SCRUBBING with it....just a very very very light application of MS70 via Q-tip and you needs have a good possibility of being met. Not that I would know anything about this....
