<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cjh1985, post: 663754, member: 19846&quot;]Terrific guys. Three very important learnings (clarifications) for me and other newbies:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) That up to 80% of all the older coins in NGC and PCGS holders <u>have been dipped</u> at least once in the life of the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2) That just because a coin had been dipped, doesn&#039;t mean it necessarily loses it&#039;s luster (which makes sense because luster is a function of the physical condition of the coin - the tiny grooves - not the toning). Although <u>over dipping</u> WILL decrease luster.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3) The CAC sticker simply means a PCGS or NGC coin has been graded properly or deserves a grade 1 point higher in the case of a gold sticker.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Did I get that right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
