<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2317203, member: 1892&quot;]My snap judgement is it&#039;s a dip gone wrong. The reverse was more heavily encrusted than the obverse, and failed to come completely clean at the point where the person dipping it dared dip no more. The splotchy appearance is absolutely unnatural. It may be that the obverse die was &quot;weaker&quot; than the reverse die, and the outside limit for the reverse was too much for the obverse. The obverse ended up overdipped and washed out, and the miscreant then artificially toned it - maybe it&#039;s smoked, it has that hue - to hide the damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
