<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 509410, member: 112&quot;]Why ? There is nothing wrong with properly dipping a coin and it often improves the coin. Finding any older coin that has not been dipped is much, much harder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Polishing, harsh cleaning or any other alteration - yes, those should be mentioned. Even over-dipping that destroys luster should be mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there really is no reason to mention that a coin has been dipped because fully 80% or more of them <u>have been dipped</u>. It is so common that it is something that should be taken for granted.</p><p><br /></p><p>And viper, the way you can tell with this coin is obvious. Just look at all the black gunk inside the date - but yet it is nowehere else on the coin. The only way that can happen is if it was dipped. That and the fact no coin of that age is going to be that white.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
