[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3056712, member: 112"]Why do people dip coins?!? There are numerous reasons: to protect the coin from being permanently damaged by excessive toning, to remove ugly or unattractive toning, to simply make the coin "look" better, to make the coin worth more, to get a higher grade, because some people simply don't like toning of any kind, and there are probably more reasons that I have not listed. But whenever someone ask a question like this I have to wonder if they are aware of just how many coins have been dipped ? If they are aware of how many coins in their own collections have been dipped ? Almost everyone who collects coins owns coins that have been dipped. 80% or more of all older coins, slabbed and raw, have been dipped.[/QUOTE]
