    Pretty cheap I would say...I didn't look at the bigger photos but it looked like the guy was a good seller...not everyone would post that they have rim damage and had been cleaned.

    Yes, it looks like an Up & Up deal. I have both of those, but figured sombody here could or might need them. I keep my eye <@>'s open occasionally :)

    Dipped??

    Would you say this coin is dipped? If so is it 'coz of lack of luster?

    If a coin is over dipped...it loses its luster...I have never seena UNC coin that just lost its luster without something helping it.
    I woudl say that it has been dipped....it would more than likely be slabbed because it doesn't look too bad....but I would think with that kind of detail there would be some luster and I sure don't see it.

    Looks like it - can you post a larger pic ?

    They did a good job dipping it, since you cannot see dark spots around the crevices. And when I say they did a good job, that is assuming they dipped it.

    Its Ebay listing #8359226606 don't have a larger pic. I'm not bidding on it but I'm still trying to learn how to tell if a coin is cleaned/dipped.
    Thank you.

    Yup - it's been dipped. A close look at an enlarged pic of the obverse and you can see it. A look at the reverse is a dead give-away.

    There ok if you like problem coins, Id rather save the money and buy a nice AU-58 or better un-touched.If your going to just keepem, fine but you will run into a big loss down the road if you resell.

    I find that funny since just in another post you told how you clean coins.....that my friend is a problem coin no matter how you look at it.
