That's the right way to dip, IMO. If it got rid of some haze, that's a plus.
FWIW, I went to collectors.com to see what is for sale in AU58 to MS62, and this coin is way nicer than anything for sale on that site in that...
Bought a few months ago but finally got around to taking pix. I've long wanted a piece of N.O. gold for my collection; they made a bunch of these...
