<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1129009, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s not something that I can easily explain other than to say it takes experience. A coin that has been truly over-dipped almost anyone can identify. A coin that has been dipped a bit too long just has a &quot;look&quot; to it. The luster changes. When I can sit down side by side with a person and look at coins in hand, tilt and turn them in the light, then I can explain it because then I can show them and compare the subtle differences. But when using pictures it&#039;s all but impossible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say this, had you dipped those coins for only 1 second, maybe even 2, I doubt that I could identify any of them even in hand. But the fact that I could easily pick out 3 out of 5 from a group picture and be right should illustrate that what I am saying about dipping and the time factor is correct. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the other two that I picked, they may well have been, and probably were, dipped before you ever got them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
