<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 325586, member: 11467&quot;]Don&#039;t assume that the TPG&#039;s don&#039;t have a clue about coins having been dipped. They often know or strongly suspect that a coin has been dipped, but choose to (knowingly) grade such pieces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For purposes of accuracy, the coin you referred to as a Half Disme was in fact a Disme.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I see no evidence that the 1812 Bust Half Dollar was wiped or thumbed and don&#039;t know how you can come to such a conclusion based solely on the images provided. Lastly, with respect to the assigned grade - it&#039;s important to keep in mind that it might look very different in-hand than it does in the images. In fact, I would expect that to be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
