Message:: [QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 1038939, member: 18177"]I know, I've read all the published articles that I could find on the PCGS " sniffer " subject, including the entire Lawsuit Filing's by both Parties.  What I should have said, is that I don't think the coin at this stage will be accepted for encapsulation, based upon the results I see from the " dipping ". While it does appear to be greatly improved, I see some " spotting" left on the coin. Perhaps it's my eyes, that's  a very real possibility or the lens of the camera, or actual residue.  It certainly does not appear to have been " overdipped " .  As was stated by Farstaff and Krispy , the PCGS process does indeed state they " CAN detect " Acetone " .  It's there, in Black & White . Whether or not at some point the TPG's make any changes to this practice being " acceptable " , remains open. There is to much money to be lost by the TPG and collector alike . So I don't see that happening, I hope not.  Back to the coin in question, I don't feel it would be accepted for encapsulation, based upon what I see the coins condition is from the before and after photo's. I think it has to some degree been improved from an eye appeal perspective, but I also see " Damaged Good's " .[/QUOTE]
