Message:: [QUOTE="smokeriderdon, post: 1129653, member: 29602"]OK, my last entry on this thread. First, I am well aware pics are not the end all. I do believe I said pics were not the best thing for this. Second. No, none of those were already dipped. They are all uncirculated. *GASP* He dipped unirculated coins!!!! Yep, guess that confirms my status as a fake collector. Anyway, to see if " 15 seconds and you have some washed out lusterless bullion at best" is true, I dipped the following quarter for 16 seconds. It is a circulated proof that I found in a drawer at work. So, as it was already scratched to hell, I sacrificed it to the coin Gods for this. On the left is before, right is after. While pics are not the end all, if it was reduced to the equivalent of lusterless bullion, I do believe a blind man could indeed see that. And I understand it isnt silver, and silver acts differently, so no need to point that out to me. But a proof coin, even circulated, should show some serious damage if all that you folks have said was true. <img src="http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k600/smokeriderdon/25dipped.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
