<p>[QUOTE=&quot;timewaster1700, post: 3361198, member: 101305&quot;]I recently posted another thread and have decided to start collecting Peace dollars. I&#039;ve been looking at tons of online auctions for Peace Dollars and such. My eyes were drawn to the pretty clean white ones but I picked up a copy of &quot;A Guide Book of Peace Dollars&quot; by Burdette and somewhere in there it mentioned white coins are most likely dipped. Well I started to looking into dipping and there is a lot of controversy with this topic. Seems many say a properly dipped coin adds value while some sophisticated collectors argue originality is better. I have no doubt the clean white Peace dollar is something beautiful to behold but I wonder about collecting something that has probably been tampered with. I&#039;m wondering how I can tell looking at these online auctions if a coin is original vs dipped. Some of the real bright white ones are probably giveaways but what about some of the nicer gray toned coins? Are they original? </p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to get some tips from those more experienced in how to differentiate between these coins, especially regarding the Peace dollar. I realize too that the 1921 will probably look different than the others in original condition due to the way it was produced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
