<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 93829, member: 112&quot;]If there is I have not heard of it - but there&#039;s a lot of things I haven&#039;t heard of. But the best way to tell if a coin has been dipped is experience. </p><p><br /></p><p>For example - a coin that shows no signs of wear whatsoever, but yet the coin has very poor or no luster remaining - that coin has been dipped. Over-dipped in fact. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or a circulated coin that has no sign of dirt or toning on the majority of the coin&#039;s surfaces, but has traces of dirt left in the fine details and protected areas - that coin has either been dipped or otherwise cleaned. </p><p><br /></p><p>Or a coin that is over say 50 years old and yet it is blast white with no sign of toning whatsoever - the odds are about 9 to 1 that the coin has been dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other times there traces of dip residue left on the coin in protected areas, or streaking across the surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>It can be any or all of the above or any combination of them. Like I said - it takes experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
