Because it does not destroy the luster, or the natural look, of the coin.

why is that market acceptable?


Because enough people, including me, will take money out of their pocket and buy this coin for close to fmv. Admittedly that is a circular definition, but the correct one.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The coin in question is an outstanding example for the date. I would love to have it in my collection dipped or not dipped.

That coin looks like it has great luster. It does not look "overdipped"

This coin has very nice eye appeal . It is not over dipped .
You say your worried about this slight dip removing some of the surface metal on this coin .
With all do respect ; I as well as many other members find no problems with this Barber quarter .

The water spot to the right of the date does confirm a dipping. Still a great coin.

I'm in the same boat as you,even though it's market acceptable and some actually prefer that blast white coin,but not me. To me that's about as ugly as can be. I'd rather something have some color to it that I know hasn't been messed with for a long time.

It's a beautiful coin. There is obviously an excessive amount of light shining on the coin, so I don't think the coin itself is unreasonable or overdipped in hand.

MS-67 seems a bit generous.

Somebody's heart was going pitter patter when they were dipping it.

You got to have big brass ones! Although, Heritage shows a PCGS MS67 CAC 1901 S Quarter sold for $258,500.00 in June 14!
