Yes. Unfortunately. They are clearly the same coin, and it took me approximately 3 seconds to figure that out.
Because you've taken an attractive and original coin and turned it into yet another mindless dipped blast white widget. You've taken anything interesting and unique about this coin and made it yet another low-grade proof coin.
I do it for my country. It's my loss. I could just leave it out in the rain for a week and it'll be back to new, I mean old.
I'll just put it in some PVC and acid wash it, you;ll never know. Clean is clean. old is only if its really old. My wife does the same thing to herself????
it may be the pictures but I see doubling on the front. Could not find a DDO listing for a 1963, but there is a DDR listed for 1963 Dime. Is this one?
Like Jason mentioned above, why wash away the originality and uniqueness? Spent a bit of time in Caballo Bay but I'd never dream of messing with it.....
The point is here is, without having known it was cleaned. Would you care? Your going to have to be unbais in your answer to justify me being honest and telling you it was cleaned.
Is that a trick question green?, It wasn't harvard. I went to a public school on staten island. How is this relevant?
