I had a conversation with JA at CAC about dipped coins. He said, "I could take a roll of uncirculated Franklin half dollars and dip half of them, and the so called dip experts could not tell a dipped one from a none dipped one". Your comment about CAC should read, "any obvious circulated dipped coins will be automatically rejected by CAC".
All dips are not the same as the dip can be diluted to different strengths and time in the acid impacts the removal of toning and metal. If the dip is done correctly, the mint frost will not be impacted. When coins are dipped, the original mint surface is removed, and the coin tends to tone faster and ugly.
