<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2125793, member: 71723&quot;]Honestly, this is an entirely different beast from than that ugloid yesterday, isn&#039;t it? There is nowhere near as much &quot;acreage&quot; involved here. There is enough left untoned that the luster is obvious. BUT, I&nbsp; guarantee you that under those wisps of brown lie &quot;the very rare and very dangerous&quot; luster breaks. Send in Jim to deal with them, &#039;cuz Marlon Perkins ain&#039;t doin&#039; it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I wanted to &quot;make&quot; a coin like this from a whiter one, I would merely dip my fingers into a thiourea and baking soda bath, then somewhat carefully, but not fully, dry them and then put the coin haphazardly in a Saflip. Add a few days, and VOILA, what you see here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not that I&#039;d ever do it to a 28-S Peace Dollar, but a stupid 63-D dime can prove the concept. BTW, I only understand the 63 grade if some of those brown wisps are also contact marks. I can&#039;t tell from the pic. Would I add it to my collection? Yes, I think I would.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
