<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 4359885, member: 112&quot;]John I gotta admit, this was a first for me. I&#039;ve never heard of calling a dipped gold coin &quot;white gold&quot;. I get the reference, I&#039;ve just never run across it before, and I collected a lot of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me personally, dipping a gold coin, when it&#039;s one that needs dipping, doesn&#039;t hurt the coin a dang bit and typically improves its looks IMO. Dip will remove toning from gold but that&#039;s all it&#039;ll do, it cannot harm the coin if dipped too long like it can with silver, copper, or clad. Dipping gold will make it look like it did when it was freshly minted. </p><p><br /></p><p>At the same time I also get it that not everybody likes that look. I don&#039;t either at times, I like toned gold as much as the next guy, more than some. But only when I find the toning attractive. Luckily for gold collectors toning can&#039;t destroy the coin like it can and often does with copper, silver, and clad. The worst that toning can do to gold is make it ugly.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end it&#039;s another one of those chocolate and vanilla things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
