<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 3362492, member: 73995&quot;]So lets forget the toning on your example sometime an easy way to tell if a coin has been over dipped and then possibly re toned is to look at the luster.</p><p>Compare the two coins below:<img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-2-13_23-31-30-png.891200/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-2-13_23-32-18-png.891201/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This one is from Heritage auctions and sold just this month.</p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/peace-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1928-1-ms64-pcgs-pcgs-population-2136-371-ngc-census-1004-109-cdn-700-whsle-bid-for-problem-free-ngc-pcgs-ms64/a/1292-8003.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/peace-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1928-1-ms64-pcgs-pcgs-population-2136-371-ngc-census-1004-109-cdn-700-whsle-bid-for-problem-free-ngc-pcgs-ms64/a/1292-8003.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/peace-dollars/silver-and-related-dollars/1928-1-ms64-pcgs-pcgs-population-2136-371-ngc-census-1004-109-cdn-700-whsle-bid-for-problem-free-ngc-pcgs-ms64/a/1292-8003.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515</a></p><p>Here are the photos.</p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F9%2F8%2F8%2F8%2F19888704%5D%2Csizedata%5B850x600%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F9%2F8%2F8%2F8%2F19888705%5D%2Csizedata%5B850x600%5D&amp;call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Your original coin shows luster but it is very subdued.</p><p>There really isn&#039;t any sharpness to the details.</p><p>The second coin is very sharp and shows brilliant and radiating luster. If a dip is done correctly then the outcome should look like the second photo.</p><p>As [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] eluded not every coin is a candidate for a dip.</p><p>The reason: is a heavily toned sometimes terminally toned coins the toning has enveloped too much of the luster and when you dip the coin that luster is removed. It then leaves a dull and lifeless looking coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
