Easy, they were dipped when he bought them.
You're just not looking in the right place. Whenever you want to judge the rarity of something, all you have to do is look at the realized prices....
No, whizzing means that you take a rotating wire brush and brush the entire surface of the coin. And that's the only thing it ever means.
Actually tolerance levels were much more strict back then than they are today. For some reason people always seem to theink that just because it...
