dipping it ????
just a dumb thought.

    Not at all. Physical damage can't be dipped away.

    Depending on the severity of the polishing or whizzing it might (?) be possible to wear the surfaces down past the damage by carrying it in your pocket for a sufficient time.

    Anything that you try to do would probably make it worse.
    Just leave it. Also could you provide a picture?

    Your coin has a lot of surface scratches. It looks harshly cleaned to me. I doubt it would straight grade numerical. ICCS since you are in Canada are strict graders as you probably already know.

    To bad since it is a semi-key date.

    Put it in a rock tumbler. My suggestion.

    God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️

    ok, thank you all.
    it is silvery shiny and scratchy everywhere...
    However. it is still a 1932 50 cent coin.
