"Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 06/15/2017 4:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2430 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 8:27 pm I suppose you may find someone interested in it however as an error collector myself, I would have zero interest in this particular coin. There is no Wow factor to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 06/15/2017 8:35 pm @Dr.J and darryldarryl, just so that I can learn something...how do you know that this isn't just a scratch? I'm not very knowledgeable about errors, so I apologize if this is a dumb question.
