What are you talking about? I rehashed nothing. I thought it was pretty clear that there are certain key date ASE that are worth more than bullion even if they are damaged. That's it. I didn't rehash my quotes in anyway...I just only quoted the relevant parts.

I have a book of dansco missing the 1986, that are all white. I considered pulling this auction and dipping it. It just crossed my mind, that there might be something with modern minting that might not be combatible with dipping

 

If you want a blast white one...just buy a blast white one. They are pretty common.

 

Boy, that's one ugly ASE. It looks like it's had the luster beaten out of it already. Can't believe someone is paying $42 for that coin. Craziness. Cats and Dogs living together....

 

Ok, we have Artificial toning - natural toning , and when someone dips a coin normally, it is called dipped, and OK with old timers ( sorta Natural), but what should it be called when someone takes a ugly NT ASE , and using very diluted dipping solution lightly removes some of the Deep Ugly to produce a moderate tone that is much more attractive ( Artistic even). Artistic De-toning?, Artificial de-toning?, or still NT as only some of it was removed by acceptable dipping and what remains is still Natural?

Most use the Dip solution straight, whereas one can easily dilute it and slow down the action. It is mainly a strong acid ( Fast)-----> weaker acid ( Slow). Think a TPG would grade it as normal?

 

I like the look of it the way it is. Although I generally like toned coins. Most ASE/bullion collectors like everything blast white like it was just minted though.

 

I'm lost....So...Do you dip the cats in a special cat-dip?

 

Leon Hendrickson dips cats?

 

I've read that MS coins are not as easily damaged as circulated coins when dipped, simply due to the fact that they have more luster. Is that correct? I am not a dealer

 

Let's all calm down, this is a peaceful place and we are not animals like those people on kitco.

 

Here is a before and after scan of a 1926D Peace Dollar I dipped a long time ago. I don't have a photo since I never really felt any use in taking it's pic. I still have it somewhere buried in the SDB with a few other well worn specimens. I think it might illustrate your point.

 

That's not the kind of coin that benefits from a dip. As I get time in the next few days I'll post a few examples of coins I do.

 

It's important to learn what coins will benefit before doing anything.
That's the tough part.

 

Yep, you are 100% correct. It is an example of a coin that turned black and ugly and had the ugly erased. Worth only melt before and still only worth melt. But a little easier on the eyes.
