<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 174049, member: 4552&quot;]Not always but if a coin looks brand new like it just came out of the mint and you notice it has wear on it from circulation, there is a good chance it has been dipped to make it appear new. Some newer coins have been dipped in things like Acetone and it then is difficult to tell since if they are new they will still look new after dipping. However, some dipping solutions have a dentency to discolor a coin. For example I recently purchased a 1914D Lincoln Cent in what COULD have been MS60 but it was obviously dipped since it has a blue tint and shines just a little to much for a coin that old.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
