<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2124245, member: 4920"]Dipped coins are accepted by the TPGs, and by the community, at large, really, by default. Back in the day when we were condition-grading, the dippers were our "coin doctors," dipping out toning, which was "environmental damage." We discount those coins today that were the victims of that corrupt practice back then, there goes probably half the market in silver coins, especially dollars. The damage is done. As long as it's not that bad, we accept it. To put this in better perspective, when I started collecting, I knew kids who could spot a dipped Morgan Dollar ten-feet away. We shunned those. Today, there are some who have surmised, that's probably the majority of the Morgan Dollar market. Go figure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
