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 picture...
