SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 6:52 pm I like the second set of images better; looks more like a normal Morgan with a bit of patina hazing the surface. The only way to describe an overdipped coin - and an overdipped one is the only dipped coin you'll ever know was dipped - is kind of like a scanned image plus the barest hint of luster. Some of your first images have that look but the second set is reassuring. It's unlikely there is anything on this coin that acetone will help. It won't hurt to use, but requires careful handling. We discuss it with great frequency, and a Forum Search will bury you under relevant results Report this Post to the Staff

gweidion Valued Member Australia 134 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 06:55 am It doesn't look like a weak strike so that is pretty much compression in the hair over the ear which means at least reasonably circulated. You might get an MS grade but I'd lean more towards AU58. Are you submitting it to a TPGer to get a result? Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 3:27 pm I might pcgs it on the next go around but I think I may give it an acetone dip fist. If I do, I'll post pics to see if u guys think it did any good. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 03/02/2015 7:59 pm The latest picture is a bit more promising. I'd say slider equal chance at AU-58 or MS-63. Acetone dip won't make any difference. Report this Post to the Staff
