[QUOTE="raider34, post: 1331981, member: 16402"]Thanks for posting the prelim draft, Mark. I'm sure it was no easy task trying to define acceptable/unacceptable practices. Overall, I think the draft is clear and precise, but there was just one point that I found a little too vague. (The section in bold). From the draft, I'm unclear of what cases constitutes "conservation" (in reference to dipping). If the sentence that immediately follows the first bold sentence addresses those acceptable cases, I'd take it to mean that; dipping a coin is only considered conservation if it is done to "stabilize the surface ..., as well as to bring the coin within current market standards of acceptability". -If that's the case it sounds like dipping a coin merely because one disliked the natural toning wouldn't be considered conservation (even if that dipping was done properly). Basically what I'm asking is; is the sole purpose of stating dipping "may in some cases be considered conservation" to address the fact that the dipping must be done correctly for it to be considered conservation. Or are there further requirements for a dip to be considered conservation?[/QUOTE]
