<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1083913, member: 19065"]I was thinking something similarly and figured that Matt's experience, seeing so many coins, his knowledge about toners, cleaned coins, dipped coins and dipping coins himself, all combined must have factored into his ability to spot coins that he felt reasonably confident would not, especially in this case, end up worse for having been dipped. I think he answered that quite well, in what to look for and how to make this judgment call. It wasn't just by luck nor taking a risk on a low value coin that he was successful. I also suppose that he knows his dipping procedure well enough that the coin is stable, ready to resubmit and a few months down the road will not revert to a state of negative eye appeal once in it's new holder. (Yes, I understand that even though dipped and bright looking now, the coin will continue to tone, even in the holder.)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>edit: </i>thanks Doug, post went up while I was typing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
