<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 3572101, member: 33176&quot;]Coins can be blast white if 1) they are recently struck or 2) they are older but the surface has not oxidized or 3) they been dipped.&nbsp; If a coin shows numismatic luster (hourglass) it is acceptable whether it has been dipped or not.&nbsp; Excessive dipping can destroy luster many say, but some new coins do not have luster to begin with.&nbsp; Perhaps some of our experts could chime in and help straighten me out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
