<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2874904, member: 15199&quot;]Joe, I wouldn&#039;t say that is not true at all, as there are many different personal rules of their own that collectors get a mindset and follow, and sure, there are some that believe as you do. But dipping with acid chemicals has been going on by Major dealers over 100 years. In the 1950&#039;s almost every silver coin was &#039;blast white&#039; as that is what the customer wanted. Blast white after 80 years???? Any chemist knew that would be very rare if untouched chemically. Many coin dealers and collectors were killed by their hobby activities by using cyanide as a dip...some still do, but it is harder to get.&nbsp; Then colored coins became the Big thing and that is what started filling the shows and advertisements....and Then AT became the situation it is today. a skilled technician knows the difference and can duplicate it 95% of the time without being caught. Anyone who can say they are always correct is almost surely&nbsp; a liar, as even TPGs do not always get it correct. That is why most dealers use &#039;market acceptable &#039; now. Read the rules, we are strict. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
