<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 3000438, member: 56370"]I may be speaking for the majority of collectors when I say that I could really care less whether my coins have been dipped at one time or another. If a TPG says they are market acceptable, that’s good enough for me. I understand that a lot of classic coins have had, heaven forbid, even a light abrasive cleaning and have been deemed gradable after retoning. But I don’t care about that either. As long as my coins don’t look like they have been scrubbed with a Brillo pad and can make it into a straight graded holder, I’m happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a feeling that a lot of coins would be ugly dogs if truly original. But none of them have been on tracked on video for the past 100+ years so we really have no idea what has or hasn’t been done to them. So I’d rather not argue about it and just enjoy them if they look decent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
