<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2124279, member: 74244&quot;]Thanks for the reply. I prefer coins which have never been dipped. I&#039;m currently working on a set of Indian cents graded 64 and higher, both uncirculated and proof, 64 and higher...the ones I can afford anyway - LOL. The recently dipped coins are obvious. I mean a bright shiny, never dipped, copper coin that old is basically impossible, and I&#039;d rather not collect those. The problem I&#039;m having is determining toning from an original coin, and one which was dipped a while ago that has become toned. It&#039;s not as easy as it sounds with high grade coins even knowing the various ages of the holders. I&#039;m trying to learn and perhaps at some point it will get easier. I just hope I don&#039;t have to spend countless dollars learning from experience, although I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll make a few mistakes, hopefully just a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having a coin in hand, is a lot easier to tell, but it&#039;s often difficult when buying a coin online from a pic, which so far is where I&#039;ve been buying most of my coins. I&#039;ve been collecting a long time, but recently have decided to take the step into buying the higher grade slabbed coins for various reasons.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been reading the forum, and lots of great info on here. Thank you - it is appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
