<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1869230, member: 15309&quot;]I am not saying that dipping is analogous to the other methods of coin doctoring, only that the intent is the same:&nbsp; to improve the appearance of the coin.&nbsp; And I am well aware that dipping has been widely accepted by the numismatic community and practiced by the TPGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the number of coins saved by proper dipping is dwarfed by the number of coins destroyed by improper dipping and rinsing.&nbsp; Personally, I can&#039;t stand the look of a 19th century mint state coin with a secondary toning after a dipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>The difference between dipping and the other doctoring methods is that the other methods use deception to achieve their results whereas dipping does not.&nbsp; But that alone does not make dipping a benevolent act.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
