<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 101654, member: 112&quot;]You certainly have the right to believe what you wish, but let&#039;s go back to what he originally said - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On one point I will agree there is certainly some disagreement among some in the numismatic field - that being whether dipping a coin hurts (damages) the coin in every case. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some people believe that it does damage the coin. But for those who do believe this, then they must also believe that about 80 - 90% of older silver coins are damaged, because that&#039;s a fairly accurate percentage for how many of them have been dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the same token there a great many very knowledgeable people in numismatics who believe the very same thing as what Greg said - that properly dipping a coin does not harm the coin. And I will readily agree that if a coin has been properly dipped, even the most expert eye cannot tell that it has been dipped. </p><p><br /></p><p>That does not mean that I personally agree with dipping coins - it simply means exactly what I said. But I will agree that properly dipping a coin can quite often improve the coin&#039;s eye appeal. But if done improperly, it can ruin a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now let me say this, I am not posting this to disagree with you Ruben - I am posting it so that both opinions may be fairly discussed to allow those want to know about the subject to make up their own minds about dipping coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
