<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 170644, member: 112&quot;]If a coin is dipped correctly, even an expert can&#039;t tell it was done. But if a coin is dipped incorrectly, even a novice can see it. So there&#039;s a lot of wiggle room in the answer to that question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, most experts estimate that up to 90% of all older silver coins have dipped at some point in the life of the coin. But you&#039;d never know just by looking at them. But if you stop and think for a minute, reason will tell you that the coin has been dipped. That&#039;s because every coin ever struck begins to tone from the moment it is struck - it is the nature of metal to do so. So when you see a coin that is say 120 yrs old and it is blast white just like the day it was struck - then the odds are about 9 to 1 that the coin has been dipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
