<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1348729, member: 112&quot;]I agree with Mike. And it will either work out to your benefit or it won&#039;t.

Many people don&#039;t really understand dipping coins. many have the opinion that it is harmful to coins - period. But in point of fact it can be quite beneficial, to you, the coin, and your pocket. You see, there are some coins that actually need to be dipped if for no other reason than to protect the coin. That&#039;s right, I said to protect the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin has PVC contamination on it would you remove it ? Just about everybody is going to say yes. </p><p><br /></p><p>If a modern Proof has heavy haze on it would you remove it ? The answers here will be split depending on what the people answering know, or don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a Morgan of a scarce date/mint is heavily toned, toning that is very dark and covers the entire coin, would you dip it ? According to some of the posts in this thread some will say no. </p><p><br /></p><p>But now suppose those answering know that dark, heavy toning is harmful to the coin. That if the toning is left alone that it will only get worse with time. What would your answer be now ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now suppose something else. Suppose that scarce date/mint Morgan is worth $12-$15,000 just as it sits, with that dark heavy toning on it. <b>BUT</b> - if that toning were not there, and the coin was dipped, and underneath that dark heavy toning was a relatively mark free coin with good luster that was worth $126,000 - would you dip it now ?</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said, the answers often depend on what you know, or don&#039;t know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
