I've heard that some dealers (mainly from the major coin advertisers)

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.



That is not always true. Even a cleaned coin gets by some times.


True, I've seen a bunch of them. I hate it when I say never.

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.
