Interesting point made by Stewart Blay in another post. Is there anyone who is a major player in this industry that can give me a straight answer to this? C'mon DH, JA, any of you guys out there who can give me a straight answer to this contradiction as I see it, of railing against doctored coins yet allowing dipped coins to be slabbed certified and stickered?
(From Stewart's thread...)

As do most major players in the industry. I should have mentioned in my reply to Stewart when he said, "ps - PCGS needs to stop giving a + grade to a coin that has been dipped", that it's time for John A. to consider doing the same at CAC. The powers that be all think it's acceptable, but how can you be on a crusade against doctoring and still find dipping acceptable when it physically alters the surface of the coin? This includes BTW all the "high end" dealers who rail against doctoring and at the same time sell dipped coins. For example, spot removal is considered doctoring when it actually improves the appearance of the coin, and only a small surface area is affected, but in dipping, the coin is altered and metal removed from the entire surface of the coin. You can't have it both ways folks. Up to now, no one has been able to explain how dipping is not doctoring, when the original surface has been altered to obtain a more aesthetically appealing coin.
