<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 941049, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry not really following you. There CAN be blast white coins that have just never toned. I have seen, (what I believe to be), original rolls of mercury dimes and morgan dollars that the center coins only had toning at the reeding. Are you saying these coins are more impaired than toned coins? I do not understand what your point was unless you assume ALL white coins WERE toned and are now dipped, so therefor white coins now are more impaired. I agree with you if you are saying that dipped coins are more impaired than original toned coins. But it sounds like you are saying it is impossible for white coins to exist. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding dipping, yes I was saying that it impairs the luster and overdipped coins I believe are cause for TPG&#039;s to reject grading it. Should a coin ever be dipped? I don&#039;t think so. If a TPG could tell if a coin has been dipped, they should refuse to grade it, but I am not sure they can. However, some argue that the only reason dipping impairs a coin is that it simply removes the toning, showing you the damage that toning has already caused the coin, therefor any toning IS damage, and therefor no longer mint state. Their argument not mine. Go back 20-30 years and read the articles, that was a strong opinion then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
