<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2898771, member: 5233&quot;]I don&#039;t think it&#039;s dishonest.&nbsp; Dipping (when done correctly) has been considered a proper coin conservation process for decades.&nbsp; Nearly all of our blast white 19th century slabbed coins have been dipped...and nobody will tell you that when they sell them to you.&nbsp; Every dealer (and smart buyer) will already know it.&nbsp; This coin was in a damaged slab, removed, conserved in an appropriate manner and re-slabbed.&nbsp; Nothing wrong with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, on the other hand if this coin had some kind of non-removable damage (harshly cleaned as an example) and was slabbed as such...then a buyer bought it and removed it from the slab to sell as problem free.&nbsp; Then THAT would be unethical.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The difference here is the OPs coin was able to be conserved in a proper manner.&nbsp; I think he took a risk and it worked out for him...sometimes they do not.&nbsp; But there is nothing unethical here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
