Looking For Comments On Grade And Surface (1936 Dollar)

@numis-northerner Thanks for the crop! Next time if I only have the stock images to work with I will corp them at least.

Can you guys tell if this has been dipped? It doesn't look to cleaned to me. I'm trying to learn how to judge surfaces and cleaning etc. Looks like nice tone on the coin. A little bit of color not really to sterile looking.

I would say the original lustre has been disturbed to the point it's gone except for the toning around the rims.......1936 is not a tough year to find a nice example of a problem free coin.

@tripoli would you venture to say the MS63 picture you posted was most likely dipped due to the fact that there virtually is no tone and everything on the coin looks quite even?

Thanks

You can still crop them before you upload them.

@tripoli pardon my ignorance, but can the luster be fully examined if the coin is not tilted the proper way towards a light source? I did ask for pictures with reflective light.

- light is certainly a factor....my images are really old scans, so yeah, they are basking in the light of the scanner and it's not natural. I can't comment on the MS63 as being dipped or not, as I no longer own it.

Apologies to all for not cropping the photo. I'm new around here so I'm still learning the ropes.

@DBM My assumption of course was based on the fact that if the coin had been dipped recently it probably would not have had that kind of tone on the rim or near the letters. Would that not be something that would have been stripped away? I'm still learning about coins so please pardon my ignorance. This is all a learning cycle for me ATM.

The pictures aren't too helpful but there does seem to be wear on the eyebrows and ears, I'd say AU50, maybe 55.
