[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1029257, member: 26302"]I respect Lehigh's opinion. He seems very knowledgable. Even if he is wrong I would say that any black toned coin, ESPECIALLY matte black, is damage. I have literally seen hundreds of these dipped and at a minimum the luster is impaired, but usually for matte black coins the underlying coin is corroded and pitted from the damage. If it is glossy charcoal, then usually the luster is compromised to various degrees, but usually no surface damage. All other colors usually do not greatly affect the underlying coin. I am not sure how many toned coin collectors have dipped coins, so that is why I am sharing my experience. I do not really understand this market, but then again never understood the error coin market, so I am trying to keep my mouth shut and just read.
