<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 101871, member: 246&quot;]You are allowed your opinion, but a VAST MAJORITY of the people in numismatics do not feel that properly dipping a coin is damaging the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>How can you call it damaging if you cannot tell it was dipped?</b> I can guarantee you that you can not tell when a coin has been properly dipped. If you take your car to the car wash, do you now consider the car damaged?</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin does not need to be &quot;damaged&quot; to be dipped. And I&#039;m not sure what you are referring to as damaged before dipping. I dip coins all the time in order to remove toning that is not attractive, haze, fingerprints, or to just remove light film to enhance the luster or mirrors. You&#039;d be hard pressed to find a person who didn&#039;t think the coin looked better after the dipping. How exactly is that damage, unless you weigh your coins with a super sensitive micrograms scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
