Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 6:36 pm I'll wait till I see it in hand, but there is plastic over the coin and I think it may appear to be dipped. However not sure exactly what that may look like on this coin. If this coin is high end AU wouldn't it have a lot of mint luster anyway. Thanks for all the opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 06/13/2013 6:31 pm the obverse patina is very odd in its presentation it could represent an older cleaning that has tarnished back over especially if it was a light dipping that did decimate the top layer of sulfide the reverse looks stronger like there might be some luster on the devices you'll need to judge in-hand when you receive it. I do not think it makes AU58 but certainly AU details nice pick up and a great educational piece if cleaned/dipped so you have an example that you can reference on future coins you pick up Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/13/2013 7:09 pm AU55 and a pretty nice one. I see no signs of a harsh cleaning or dipping. The obverse patina is quite heavy. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Fayette1800 Pillar of the Community United States 1094 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 12:42 am I received the coin yesterday and it is beautiful. The obverse has a blue-ish patina. I live in the Denver area and am planning on dropping off some coins at Anacs. I will definitely drop this one off. Thanks for all the input. Report this Post to the Staff
