<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AshcraftCoin, post: 775290, member: 17767&quot;]Whoa... this thread went off on a tangent about coins! LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>The answer, in general, for <b><u><i>&quot;silver bullion&quot;</i></u></b> is... NO. It does not lower the <u>silver bullion value</u>. Also, neither does looking like crap, technically.</p><p><br /></p><p>Exceptions:</p><p><br /></p><p>If that <i>silver bullion</i> <u>also happens to be a coin</u> and also has some numismatic value... then they answer gets much more disputed... as seen above. (In general... don&#039;t dip... is the consensus.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If the <i>silver bullion</i> is of a collectible nature such as older style bullion, gram bars from the price peak, or art bars... it may actually lower the collectible value which, in some cases, may outrank the bullion value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Extreme over dipping or dipping in the wrong thing could theoretically cause a weight change. (Highly unlikely, probably minuscule at most and not noticeable even if it did happen, but still to be noted.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Another exception is the &quot;buyer factor&quot;... the buyer may have a different perception than you based their experience, lack of experience, the trade medium, their purpose for buying, their angle (trying to get this price down), or expectations versus reality. (aka x factor... really, no way to predict)</p><p><br /></p><p>Conclusion:</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, short answer to your exact question... NO.</p><p><br /></p><p>In most cases, for <i>silver bullion,</i> dipping won&#039;t hurt the value or ability to resell and, even though technically irrelevant to the value, looking shiny is better than not. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
