Who here is "Jack The Dipper"

In no way am I picking on anybody named Jack

I'm more or less talking about those who dip to get rid of the natural toned surfaces of coins.

Things like acetone,olive oil,etc don't count.

Thanks

blame the old timers, who used to think that a blast white coin is the only coin worth owning or selling.

so much for the custodians of the hobby...

That's at least one less buyer for your coin when it comes time to sell.

I'm an old timer and I have never, nor will I ever dip or clean a coin.

The crustier the better.

I've removed the "natural toned surfaces" of many, many coins. For example:

Bite me. It's the way things were back in the not so distant past.

Clean and shiny coins are happy coins

many many folks here dip coins.

some like russ, use it responsibly. others want to clean up the
coin for grading in hopes of a better result. some want to actually
see what the coin is underneath the dirt from a metal detecting find.
others have no clue what they are doing and turn the coin into a POS.
Some are trying to get crap of the coin which damages its surface.

Many many reasons. I just think over the decades the results are patently
obvious. There is a lot of unoriginal coins on the market and they represent the
sheer majority of what is for sale.

i have decided to leave well enough alone and never clean coins.

I think on Russ's coin it was well done....Thumbs up!

I dip when appropriate.

Can the moderator say "bite me?" Huh...Who makes the thread go poof anyway? Is Big Brother watching all threads...? I should stop thinking out loud!
