<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3153922, member: 112&quot;]There&#039;s all kinds of articles on dipping coins. But the bottom line is that 80%, or more, of all older coins have been dipped at one time or another in their lives. And is still done on a daily basis - today. Literally 10 of millions of coins reside in TPG slabs, cleanly graded, and they have all been dipped. Even the TPGs themselves use coin dips - when you pay them to &quot;conserve&quot; coins. Dipping coins has been a completely acceptable practice in numismatics for over 200 years. I would feel safe in saying that just about everybody here on this forum owns several dipped coins, and possibly all of them have been dipped. Whether you know it or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible to ruin a coin with coin dip ? Of course it is ! But it is also possible, if you know what you are doing, to not harm the coin at all. And in fact you may do it a lot of good. Tens of millions of coins have been saved from destruction by dipping them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kinda paints a slightly different picture than what it says in some of the articles doesn&#039;t it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
