<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2224992, member: 26302&quot;]I hear you sir, but a couple of points.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. No one knows, or could possibly know, if a coin was dipped properly. The only proof of dipping would be from improper dipping or dipping more than once. If you say, &quot;improper dipping&quot;, then TPG&#039;s try to not grade them at all, though I notice they give 18th century coins a dramatic break in the regard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. Overall, I would say to buy coins in hand and grade them yourself. Do not be afraid of returning a coin that is not to your satisfaction in hand, regardless of what a TPG said about it. A TPG slab is not much different to me than a CNG or other respected dealers flip. You get some comfort to expect a good coin, but the bottom line will always be what the coin looks like in hand. A good dealer will understand this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
