<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1488594, member: 112&quot;]Saying that a coin has been dipped (cleaned - not harshly cleaned) is far from throwing it under the bus. Most coins that are or have been dipped are actually improved condition wise as a result of that dipping. Saying that coin has been dipped is nothing more than stating a fact. It is not a derogatory comment in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your family&#039;s coins, even if they have been in your family for 2 or 3 generations, and even considering the way your grandfather stored them, that still does not mean that those coins have never been dipped. Dipping coins has been with us for hundreds of years. So unless your grandfather got the coins fresh from the mint, which I very much doubt, and they were blast white when he got them, then it almost a certainty that they were dipped before he got them. Because no coin is going to remain untoned for even 1 year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
