<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4209228, member: 112&quot;]I agree 100% that dipping a coin is and always has been acceptable, and just because a coin has been dipped that <b>does not</b> mean that it has been damaged. And tens of millions of coins have been dipped and cleanly graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, you and I both know that if a coin is over-dipped - it most definitely is considered as having been harshly cleaned and damaged, and it <b>will not</b> be cleanly graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point of course is that the difference between cleaned (no harm) and harshly cleaned (harmed) is just like the difference between dipped (no harm) and over-dipped (harmed).</p><p><br /></p><p>And just because a lot, even if it&#039;s the vast majority, of people use the term &quot;cleaned&quot; when what they really mean is &quot;harshly cleaned&quot; - that does not mean they using the term correctly. It simply means a whole lot of people, even the vast majority, are using the term incorrectly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cleaned has become the slang form, a contraction, of harshly cleaned - that&#039;s what happened. But it doesn&#039;t make it right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
