theroamer New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 11:36 am Picked up this beauty at a flea market this weekend for $3 under spot. It shows more luster than the pics show. Edited by theroamer 05/02/2011 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 11:48 am I will say AU-53 details, dipped. Carbon spots on reverse are a bit distracting but otherwise a decent coin good value for $3 under spot! Report this Post to the Staff

theroamer New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 1:27 pm How do you tell if it was dipped? is it the flat surfaces? Like I said it shows significantly more luster in hand than the pics show. I'll try to take another one later in better light. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 12:22 am Uneven toning with some tarnish concentrated in and around the devices, to include some dark black spots and splotches, is usually a sign of an old dipping. What often occurs is someone finds a very dark coin in AU or MS, dunks it quickly in an acid dip, and ends up with a lighter coin that has some dark spots and inconsistent toning.
