Which dealers don't alter coins in any way?

I mean not even dipping. The coins they sell look exactly the way they did when they bought them. I don't count resubmitting.

I don't believe Saint Feldini does either.

Well, "never" is a strong word. There may be a few who haven't, but in any event there are some coins so hideously toned -- no, not toned, *tarnished* -- that at least a gentle dip would even be accepted by fans of toned, original coins.

I do soak in acetone, so if that disqualifies me, then I am guilty.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

As in "BIG DIPPER COINS"?
Even after the last Stacks sale-I sent all the coins in "as is". Unlike many other dealers who messed wih them. I got most of my grades anyway.

What about the 92-CC from the Jack Lee set? I believe that you even posted to this forum some time back that you were going to dip it or have smoeone else do it for you. It may have been the 90-CC but in any event it was one of the two.
I think most people would agree that there is a big difference between dipping a coin to improve its grade and price and dipping a coin to remove harmful surface contaminants.

Of course there's a big difference. But the question wasn't limited to just dipping. Also, some cleaning of coins is desirable if its to remove surface contamination to save a coin from deterioration.

This is virtually absolute!!
Those dealers that only deal in encapsulated coins may be able to make the above statement, but do you consider cracking out and re-submitting coins as "alter in any way"?
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
