I would NEVER put anything of real value in a Dansco, simply because of this fact and the fact that the slide marks are killer on surfaces of really beautiful coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the dip, here&#039;s my issue. If before you dip a coin, it has luster underneath the toning, and when dipped the toning is gone, but so is much of the luster, then it is NOT a good dip. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen many many coins in my time that were very nice UNC coins but have been overdipped simply because someone didn&#039;t like toning. In many cases, though, it does more harm than good, but IMHO only as far as luster is concerned.
