<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1869259, member: 15309&quot;]Well that is your opinion.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t think that dipping is as benign as everyone else seems to think that it is.&nbsp; IMO, I think dipping should be used as a last resort as a conservation method to save coins with toning that borders on environmental damage.&nbsp; It should not be used to brighten coins that have light pearl or grey patinas that are perfectly stable.&nbsp; And I submit that most coins that have been dipped didn&#039;t need to be dipped; it was simply done to enhance the appearance of the coin so they could make more money.&nbsp; And in the long run, the appearance enhancement provided by a dip is not permanent.&nbsp; It is certainly not as bad as the other coin doctoring techniques, but I still think it is bad, most of the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
