MS65?
No distracting marks? Can you say "please dip me"? Or something.
Personally, I'd like a bit more eye appeal in my MS65's. I presume PCGS's "market grading" didn't apply here. http://cgi.ebay.com/1911-Barber-Dime...7C240%3 A1318 |

MS65?
It seems to me that this type of mottled toning is typical of coins that
were once dipped and are retoning. On the other hand, this type of toning, while it looks terrible in a picture, can be breathtaking when seen in person. I purchased a 1943 Canadian quarter on EBay that looked terrible in the picture but incredibly beautiful when I saw it in person. Pictures often don't tell the whole story. -- Richard My coin Links: http://coins.richlh.com/MyCoinLinks.htm "Bruce Remick" wrote in message ... No distracting marks? Can you say "please dip me"?

That's actually old original toning which some collectors like.
Dipped coins that are improperly rinsed retone looking like they have coffee stains. -- RARE COIN AUCTIONS NO RESERVES www.frankcoins.com http://myworld.ebay.com/frankcoins Texas Auction License 11259, Board member of Texas Coin Dealers Association, Member TNA, ANA, PCGS, NGC - Full Time Since 1991 |

I don't believe that toning is "original". We all know what an original silver coin looks like. It's what happens during its life time that affects how a coin will look fifty years hence. It's like claiming that a foxed early document has "original toning". THIS particular coin looks like it was exposed sequentially to settled fly ash, morning dew, and the noonday sun. Makes for a colorful story, but a butt-ugly coin. Hard to imagine any collector seeking coins that look like that with the intention of displaying them that way. |
