<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 412571, member: 5233"]People dip coins to remove toning. Most older silver coins have been dipped if they are blast white. Typically, acetone is used. Generally, if it is done correctly (by someone with experience) it is OK to dip a coin and it improves the appearance. But if a coin is dipped too much, or for too long, or isn't rinsed thoroughly...the dipping will strip the coin of it's luster. If you have a higher grade coin that should have luster and it is dull looking...odds are it has been over dipped. The coin pictured appears to be lacking luster and based on the condition it should have it. It might be the pics, or it might be the coin. Hard to tell in this case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
