Hello and Welcome . It probably was dipped in something other than Acetone .

Do you know how to check for dipping before sending to grading service? Is there any guide or something?SensibleSal66 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 7:42 pm Hello and Welcome . It probably was dipped in something other than Acetone .

Re: Why is that coin cleaned?
The coin may be cleaned for your personal enjoyment and if it has more sentimental value than monetary value, or if it's not a particularly rare coin.
One popular reason to clean coins is if you are collecting circulated currency, such as Lincoln pennies, that are not rare or ancient.

Re: Why is that coin cleaned?
Ofc. I got this one from a dealer. I looked it with microscope and there were no signs of cleaning, but PCGS thinks the opposite. So the question was do you see any signs of cleaning on the pictures? If it was dipping, how to spot it?Akusta wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 7:07 am The coin may be cleaned for your personal enjoyment and if it has more sentimental value than monetary value, or if it's not a particularly rare coin.
