When that happens, the dipping backfires. Those dips, when left that way, untreated, come back in the body bags. In any event, when they don’t, they decrease the eye appeal and hence value of the coin, to the degree of said flaws. They, rather, alert the market, than deceive it. The dips that get slabbed and are considered “market acceptable” are rather the ones that increase the eye appeal and hence value of the coin. That’s where that deception is. Toning will disguise a coin’s flaws, for sure, to some degree, but, when done by artifice, its sole purpose is exactly the same purpose as dipping: namely, to increase the eye appeal and hence value of the coin. Just as deceptive, therefore, as I see it...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then I trust you’re saying the major TPGs who have slabbed these dipped coins and continue to slab them as well as the market that accepted and continues to accept them don’t have any common sense. I suppose I can agree with that, in a way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
