<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 1002728, member: 4381&quot;]That is no doubt true, but it is also changing.&nbsp; The problem is that older coins from the most famous estates are the ones most likely to have been dipped as this was the standard practice for the top Numismatists until very recently.&nbsp; As we&#039;ve come to understand coins, storage, metallurgy and grading better, the trend has shifted away from dipping and towards an appreciation of natural toning.&nbsp; In the case of the coin that I posted to start this thread, the whiteness of that particular example would make me less inclined to drop the 9 grand or so that is being asked for it.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather see it with some natural toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
