yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 1:55 pm picked this up from a shop he listed it BU I looked at it in hand w/ a 3x glass threw a flip got it home and took these picks and it dont look too BU to me and the slight yellow high light toneing makes me think this has been dipped Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 2:17 pm I agree with your assessment. It looks far too 'bright' to be natural, and not in the good lustrous way. Report this Post to the Staff

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 4:35 pm AU-58 or MS-60 cleaned, most likely. I don't see any obvious wear, but I don't know much about this series. Report this Post to the Staff
yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 7:47 pm should I put in a cedar box for a year or so? Report this Post to the Staff

I'd try wrapping it in a Taco Bell napkin, putting it in an paper envelope and sitting it on a window sill for a few months. And yes - it looks to be AU and cleaned.

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 10:08 pm the Taco Bell napkin trick is to tone it, right? Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 10:35 pm The napkin, along with some good old sunshine and heat/humidity, will help re-tone it a bit. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
