<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2280070, member: 112"]When it comes to dipping being acceptable, not much if anything at all has changed. Dipping coins, when done properly, has been an acceptable practice for well over a century. But yes you are correct in that there were a lot of people, still are a lot of people as a matter of fact, who were/are completely unaware of how extensive the practice of dipping coins is. When you tell somebody that 80% or more of all older coins have been dipped, and yes that includes all slabbed coins too, well, to say they are skeptical at first is an understatement. Nonetheless it is true, that number 80%, is if anything too low.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it's not that standards and preferences have loosened in regards to dipping, it's merely that in recent years more and more people have become educated to the fact that it always has been acceptable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
