<p>[QUOTE=&quot;William DeBerry, post: 1814469, member: 56598&quot;]Okay. Now, my LCS owner talks about dipping coins, and how it doesn&#039;t affect value if done right. He dips, rinses, and then wipes it with a paper towel, which is what I assume puts all the scratches on it. He says there is nothing wrong with how he does it, and he does other people&#039;s coins in the same fashion. I disagree. I bought this coin specifically, because he had just finished dipping it when I had walked in, we had this conversation about his dipping methods days prior, and I wanted to post it on here and get other opinions. I am new to collecting, he knows this, and I don&#039;t want to call him out on what he is doing because I don&#039;t want to sound like a jerk, but I feel like he is really doing a disservice to people, selling these coins like this, as well as cleaning THEIR coins. I know their are other threads about dipping coins on this forum, but I just feel like it needs to be reiterated and this would be a good thread to do it. What is the correct, or best, method for dipping coins and not causing all those horrible looking surface scratches or affecting value? I know &#039;not dipping&#039; is the best method, but if it is to be done, how should it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
