<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 413719, member: 15309&quot;]It is no so much that the coins are not nice, some of them are.&nbsp; However, I would say that I overpaid for at least half of the coins in this collection and some badly overpaid.&nbsp; Since you pointed out the 1892, let us examine that one first.&nbsp; This is actually one of the coins that I did not make a mistake on IMO.&nbsp; I paid MS62 money for the coin, and although I am certain that the coin has been dipped in the past, I think that if it were to body bag it would be the rim dings and not the luster that was the culprit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892RawBUObverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Barber%20Quarters/BarberQuarter1892RawBUReverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The toning at the top has formed since I placed it in the album.&nbsp; Some of you are wondering how I know for certain that the coin has been dipped.&nbsp; I purchased the coin from an E-Bay dealer who&#039;s entire inventory is blast white.&nbsp; It makes no difference what coin, bust half--blast white,&nbsp; Morgan Dollar--blast white,&nbsp; Mercury dime---well you get the point.</p><p><br /></p><p>I began assembling this collection prior to getting hooked on toning.&nbsp; I thought blast white was what a coin was supposed to look like.&nbsp; Little did I&nbsp; know that a blast white 100 year old coin is usually a sign that something is wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
