That's possible, but the coin does not look like it's been dipped. Or if it was dipped, it was done a long time ago. Those spots look like ares...
I find them attractive, but that doesn't turn a $50 item into a $70,000 "wonder coin."
It might come back "filed rims" on the holder. The 1884-CC is common Carson City date. There are plenty of others available.
The piece looks like it has the wrong reverse to me. Here's photo from the "Coin Facts" site. Check out the eagle's breast feathers. [ATTACH]...
I am glad that I don’t suffer from the toned coin sickness.
I am glad I don’t want this stuff. I like the mint products that most people don’t want, like the silver Proof set and law enforcement...
That coin does not look like it's been dipped. It has the usual haze that these silver coins get from storage in the original cellophane sleeves....
The is all the more reason why you should post both sides of the whole coin when you are teaching grading techniques. You admitted that you go the...
There is no way that that coin grades PR-66. If anything it should be a "no grade" for environmental damage.
One of the interesting things about some half cents is that a few hoards have made acquiring higher grade pieces a bit easier. This 1806, Large 6,...
I like that one. Good color and hard surfaces. If the price is reasonable, it is a good buy.
I only have one for type. I have owned two others. Most interesting one was the "Camel Head" variety which was stuck over another coin. Here's the...
So far as I know, there are only six varieties of the 1809 half cent. I have had them all, but not at the same time. I once owned that plate coin...
You must be pretty old ;) ... That coin has been a high priced key date for years.

Sorry, but you need to review the position of the curl over the "0" in the date. It's a Cohen 3.
The 1809 half cent is one of the most common Turban Head dates. There are six known die varieties. One of them, Cohen 1, would sell for over...
I have a complete type set from 1792 to present. (excluding the newly added Washington Crossing the Delaware coin which has just been issued.)...
I have always liked the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial $2.50, but a lot of people don't. The big knock on the coin is that it is in low relief. In...
You need to post pictures of the whole coin in order for me and others to give you advice. One thing for sure. It's worth more than a cent.
