<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7763311, member: 112"]Not necessarily. Many, many times, dipping a coin to remove toning will increase it's substantially ! I once watched a guy at a coin buy a rare date Morgan, it was very darkly toned, almost black. He paid I think it was $36,000 or so. He took it, dipped it, and sold it at the same show $156,000. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now granted this was a rare coin. But a coin doesn't have to be rare for it's value to increase substantially because the coin was dipped. It all depends on the toning. If the toning is unattractive, and much of it is, and you remove that toning, then it's a pretty safe bet the value is going up. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the opposite is true as well.
