<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4845626, member: 112&quot;]I am far from being the only one who has flat out stated that most coins have been dipped. Q. David Bowers, Ken Bressett, just to name a couple, and just about every big name there is in numismatics has said it. Bowers has gone so far as to say that about the only ones that haven&#039;t been dipped are some of the Morgans in the GSA sales.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you don&#039;t have to believe them either. Nor do you have take my word for it, write to Bowers and ask him yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - I should have thought to add this. The best evidence there is that most coins, (especially older coins), have been dipped - is the coins themselves. And I say that because ALL coins tone - that is simply an undeniable fact. It is very nature of metals. And unless you cut off air getting to the coin, toning cannot be stopped. At best it can only be slowed down, and then only because of modern storage methods. None of which even existed 50 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, the fact that most coins, the vast majority of them, do not show advanced toning pretty much proves that they&#039;ve been dipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
