<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 507788, member: 112&quot;]Ben, you have only been around here for a short time. And because of that you have missed a great many previous discussions on this subject. You have not said anything that hasn&#039;t been talked about at least 100 times.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing is this, there are many collectors who have found that originallity in a coin can be much more appealing than if the same coin were dipped. And quite often an original coin will bring higher prices as well. Of course it depends on each individual coin. I would agree with you that some coins would be better off if dipped. But by the same token many of them would not. And that depends of course on who is making the decision as well as the coin and how it looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The idea of automatically dipping any coin with battleship grey toning is an old one Ben. It has changed greatly in recent years. Many of the more advanced collectors go to great lengths to search out original coins and would not buy a dipped coin on a bet. And any dealer worth his salt should be aware of this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
