[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 6611443, member: 112"]To a very large degree, yes it is true. But there is a caveat - it is only true for most people ! And no it doesn't make any difference whether it's RB or BN. Or RD for that matter. This is what I mean by the caveat - copper can be, and often is, dipped successfully. BUT - you absolutely have to KNOW what you are doing and exactly how to do it ! And the proof of this being true are the coins themselves - the sheer numbers of Red copper coins in existence - proves it beyond any and all doubt ! Yes it is true that different coins require different types/kinds/brands - and the dilution, or lack of dilution - of dip if you wish to dip them and get the best results possible. And it's not just the metals that matter, (and yes metals do matter), the specific toning the coin has matters as well. In other words, there is a ton you need to know ! Extensive knowledge and experience are required for successful dipping. And even then, sometimes that is still not enough - because the coin may very well already been ruined by the toning, and or something that happened to the coin prior to the toning. To put that another way - dipping coins is ALWAYS a crap shoot ![/QUOTE]
