Here is another one. I think this was dipped and pulled out real fast leaving some original color and streaks. What do you guys think? Thanks!   |

There are many attractive examples of this date. This looks like a market acceptable ms60 or 61 with poor eye appeal. I would look for a more attractive piece which are easily available. This coin reminds me of spaghetti stains on a white pair of pants. If you've had that experience, you may be able to relate.
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."

It looks like a dipped coin that was not properly rinsed after the dip, leaving that ugly dip residue around the rim and devices.

If this is a gem, all my XF 40's are AU 58s.   |

Shocker. Is this the one that you promised? Or is there another shocker?
