That's preposterous! You need to first learn how coins and dies are made. The features of varieties can only be added or enlarged in the die or negative state, and reduced or eliminated only in the punch or positive state. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 11/25/2024 12:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 11/25/2024 12:49 pm While the C&C site is about the best online Canadian coin resource, it is fraught with errors and omissions.

If you really do enjoy the early five cent varieties get some Charlton catalogues, especially the 2010 edition which features Victorian five cent varieties. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 11/25/2024 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
