<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1978206, member: 26302&quot;]Tom B is right. However, the &quot;problem&quot; is there is no uniform look to a dipped coin. I can take a ugly 1955 Franklin, dip it ONCE properly, and almost no one can tell. However, if I show you a 1833 capped bust half that has been dipped improperly, or over and over and over, EVERYONE should be able to see that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Every proper dip will remove a tiny layer of luster. Done properly, almost no one can tell one dip, a few can see two dips, but three it starts to become obvious. Improper dipping and the results can be horrible after only one dip. Basically what you see is no cartwheel effect when there should be, the surfaces are white, but lifeless and dull, not shiny and reflective. This is why some people would take overdipped coins and whiz them. Whizzing imitates luster to those who don&#039;t know the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, OP, I cannot answer yoru questions really. Give me a toned 1963 quarter and I can give you a shiny white 1963 quarter you will neve know was dipped. If I do it improperly or 4-5 times, though, and you will get back an ugly, dull, white quarter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
