<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8086123, member: 112"]There doesn't need to be anything special about it. There are usually two reasons, and sometimes a third, for dipping a coin. One is because you don't like the toning, after all a whole lot of toning is ugly in the eyes of a lot of people. And the second reason is that dipping a coin, at the right time, preserves the coin, saves the coin from the damage that is almost certain to happen if you allow it to tone beyond a certain point. </p><p><br /></p><p>The third reason is that dipping a coin can sometimes greatly increase its value. Now granted, that wouldn't happen with this coin. But there are plenty of coins where it does happen. Those would be the ones you mention that have something special about them. For all the rest, typically at least one of the first two reasons apply, and sometimes both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
