<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1770785, member: 112&quot;]First of all if a coin has been dipped it won&#039;t have any toning because the acid strips away all toning. But yes that why I asked you to define things. If a coin is dipped for too long then it will look dull and washed out because the luster has been stripped away by the acid, but only when they have been dipped for too long.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A coin can still be dipped and looked nearly perfect. That&#039;s what the other posters were explaining. How things turn out when you dip a coin does depend on 3 things, 1 - the length of time it is exposed to the acid, 2 - the strength of the acid, and 3 - the underlying condition of the coin (which is always an unknown). There are literally millions and millions of coins that have been dipped and then graded and slabbed by the TPG&#039;s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dipping a coin can improve its grade or lower its grade, and sometimes drastically so in either direction, even when you do things correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
