Calgary Coin has a few coins with the 8 pearls on George the 5th coins. Being relatively inexperienced in some of the nuances of grading does this matter in relation to grading or is this just a collectors preference?

Had to figure out on my own that it relates to the 4 sets of 2 dots on the lower portion of the reverse crown. This is a 5 cent from 1910.

"Eight Pearls" refers to the obverse crown not the reverse.
Eight pearls showing usually indicates a grade of EF or higher
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
