There is always a risk when dipping a coin that the toning has damaged the surface. The hardest part is determining which coin will come out and which wont. Usually the more opaque the toning is while looking at the coins luster the better chance it&#039;s not damaged the surfaces. The first thing I look for is the luster. If the coin is completely toned but still has poppin luster under the toning odds are the surfaces are ok. If you see a coin when heavier especially darker toning and the luster is really subdued in the toned areas... odds are that coin is not one that should be dipped. In the first picture you can see that while the coin is toned the luster is still apparent through the toning... almost like it wasn&#039;t there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
