[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 391435, member: 112"]No, they wouldn't. They don't care who does it, they just care that it was done properly (correctly). There are literally millions and millions of dipped coins in NGC, PCGS and all other TPG slabs. As to how do you define dipped properly or correctly ? You define it by doing it so that no damage is done to the coin and no residue is left behind on the coin as a result of the dipping. Damage can be done to the coin by dipping it too long or too often. Too long might be as little as 1 second too long. Too often might be as little as 1 more time. You see, when you get a coin, you have no idea how many times it may been dipped before you got it. It may have been dipped once, twice, three times or more - or it may not have ever been dipped before at all. Therein lies the true issue - you have to be experienced enough to be able to judge whether or not the coin you are going dip is a good candidate for dipping. And - you must be able to judge what would the best dip product to use for this particular coin - there are a great many of them (products). Make a mistake in duration of the dip, which product to use and/or the number of times to dip it - and you have ruined the coin forever.[/QUOTE]
