Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 11:38 am markn- You think it has been dipped? What makes you think that? I realize that it is a bit darker on the right side of the obverse. Honestly, all-in-all this coin doesn't look as though it has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 4:07 pm 1. It appears too white for a 200 odd year old coin 2. There are elements of the original pre dip patina clinging to low protected areas of the coin which is a sign of a dip. Look around the S and P of HISPAN and the top right of the shield on the shield side. The darker spot on the right of the pillar side in an indicator also. I wouldn't worry too much, most coins that are 200 years old have been cleaned at some stage. That's a nice pillar dollar you have there and you should be happy with it.
