[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1820427, member: 11854"]That depends entirely upon the metal, grade and era. I tend to avoid handling coins that I think have been boinked in the past, so I have already selectively removed them from any potential pool. Some rules of thumb might be the following- 1) White MS Morgan and Peace dollars? Very good chance these are not dipped, though if the luster is still good the market doesn't really care one way or the other. 2) White Seated or before silver coinage? Almost certainly dipped or otherwise processed. Proof and MS examples of these are accepted, but the degree of acceptance depends upon remaining luster (MS coins) and age with older coins less accepted than younger coins. 3) Essentially white circulated Barber or before silver coinage? Worked on something fierce and typically treated as such in the market.[/QUOTE]
