<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2294209, member: 112&quot;]Not true. There are many, many cases of coins that were toned black, and dipped to reveal very nice luster. There is even a somewhat famous story often related on the bourse floor about one in particular. It was a scarce date Morgan, toned black, already slabbed and graded 64 I believe it was. The most recent sale price of that coin was $26,000. The dealer who bought it talked to his buddies at the show to get their opinions on dipping it. Because dipping is always a crap shoot, they all told him no they&#039;d never do it with that coin - too much to risk. But he went ahead and dipped it anyway, revealing very clean and lustrous surfaces. Then he sent in for grading. It got a 66. He then sold the coin for $126,000.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
