[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2463686, member: 112"]I just got around to reading this thread today. I suspect you have seen thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of dipped coins and never even realized they had been dipped and found them perfectly acceptable, some maybe even exceptional. I also suspect you own a good many coins that have been dipped. Of course, the above is usually true of just about everybody else as well. I agree with this 100%. But this ? It sounds like you are suggesting that coins are given some kind of mint treatment to prevent toning. But that is categorically false. The only coins that I am aware that have ever, stress ever, been given any mint treatment in an effort to prevent toning are the Sackys and other modern $1 coins made of the same alloy as the Sackys.[/QUOTE]
