<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 3000002, member: 31773&quot;]Actually, it is the &quot;uncertainty&quot; that maintain&#039;s the coin&#039;s value. If an experienced collector &quot;knows&quot; a coin has been dipped, then if a new collector buys that coin from him and asks &quot;has this coin been dipped&quot;, what does the collector say? Does he say &quot;yes&quot;? He does not, because he does not really know, and if he says &quot;yes&quot; the sale will not happen. Does he say &quot;no&quot;? Maybe, but he can&#039;t say it with certainty, and indeed if he &quot;knows&quot; the coin has been dipped then he is being intentionally deceitful. Does he say &quot;I don&#039;t know&quot;? That would be the most honest answer, but one that would put him out of business fairly quickly. So he say&#039;s &quot;no&quot;, or if the coin is slabbed he says &quot;not according to PCGS/NGC because they slabbed it&quot;. Business continues because this obfuscation leans on the actual uncertainty this collector has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
