<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1488616, member: 36864&quot;]You and I and I&#039;m sure many others know that properly dipping a coin is not a bad thing, but many collectors will stay away from a coin that is stated as having been dipped because we all preach about the fact that a coins value is lost after cleaning.&nbsp; The fact that the difference between a dip and a harsh cleaning is not clear to everyone is the reason that I say that a coin is being thrown under the bus.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as my familys collection goes, I&#039;m fairly confident that the proofs were obtained from the mint, but others were pulled from circulation.&nbsp; I can not say with any certainty that the coins have never dipped, I just don&#039;t believe that they have been due to the fact that the edges show the color that I would expect for coin of any age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
