Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7813622, member: 112"]E Z Est can damage a coin IF it is used incorrectly ! Any commercial coin dip can damage a coin if it is used incorrectly. BUT - when coin dip IS used correctly, it does not damage the coin ! Literally tens of millions of all the slabbed coins there are in existence, have been dipped in one commercial coin dip or another. Some of them, more than once. And there is nobody, absolutely nobody, who can tell with certainty that the coins were dipped. You can look and look and look, even under high magnification, and there will be no damage to the coin. And no scientific instrument can confirm dipping either. This is why dipping coins has been deemed perfectly acceptable by the numismatic community for over 200 years. The only way that anyone can tell that coin has been dipped is by using deductive reasoning. In other words, it is a given, a scientific fact that all coins tone. So if a coin is old enough, and the coin is not toned, then you bet that coin has been dipped. That's deductive reasoning. But it is not absolute proof. It's about as close as you can get but it's not quite there.[/QUOTE]
