<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1652054, member: 112&quot;]Actually yes, there is a very easy way to know if a coin has been dipped, at least with most of them. The key word in that statement is know, because you can know something but not be able to prove it. All it takes is a little common sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>All coins begin to tone the instant they pop off the dies, every single one of them. That is a cold hard fact. So if you are looking at a coin that is say over 50 years old and that coin shows no signs of toning, then it is about a 99% probability that that coin has been dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to your question is no. But the answer is no because of the way you worded the question. I&#039;ll explain.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin is dipped properly then no the dipping does not destroy the luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if a coin is dipped improperly, then yes it does destroy the luster. But there will not be any shine either. An improperly dipped coin will have a flat, dull and lifeless look to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
