I've heard that some dealers (mainly from the major coin
advertisers) dip coins. Supposely dipping is different
from cleaning coins.
Dipping is a non-abrasive, chemical form of cleaning. It
is doubtful that many dealers actually engage in this
practice, but often buy cleaned/dipped coins at a dime on
the dollar and then resell them for 80% of book, as they
know such coins will never get into a respected holder.
A year ago I
bought a 1934-2006 Lincoln cent set in a Dansco album
labeled 1909-2007. I was missing 70 coins from 1909-1933.
I've been buying them from various dealers but wondering
what the effect of dipping is. I've read that dipping can
make an ef/AU coin look UNC+. Comments?
Dipping, if done carefully by an experienced person, can
result in an improvement in the eyes of some, but not all.
Even the top-tier slabbers will holder a dipped coin if
they don't perceive any damage. Repeated dipping, though,
eventually causes the coin to cross the line to being
non-slabbable. And only coins with a fairly high silver
content will dip out properly. Dipped nickel coins, and
especially dipped bronze/coppers almost always turn ugly
colors after a short time, if not immediately.

You want to dip someone?
I'd be willing to dip my balls in his mouth if you'll take the
