[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4214408, member: 112"]Absolutely correct. But only if and when the dipping is done correctly AND if and when the coin was not already damaged before it was dipped ! There's 2 things involved when it comes to using a commercial coin dip. Coin dip contains acid and when it is used properly and correctly no harm is done to the coin. But if it is used incorrectly or improperly coin dip can absolutely ruin a coin and do irreparable damage to the coin. The second thing is that when you dip a coin, by removing the unsightly toning or whatever on the coin, you may reveal damage that was previously done to the coin, but was being hidden from view by the toning. Thus even if you dip it correctly, the coin is still damaged because it was already there before you dipped the coin - you just couldn't see it.[/QUOTE]
