<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2693965, member: 112&quot;]There once was a guy who had a Morgan toned black. It was graded MS and sold for about $50k. It&#039;s new owner decided he wanted to gamble and dip the coin. Everybody he knew told him not to try it. But he did it anyway. When he was done he had a gem on his hands, he sent it in for grading and it upgraded 2 grades from where it was previously. He then put it up for auction, the coins sold for $126k. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is stories like this that cause people to risk dipping a coin. And that&#039;s kind of what you&#039;re trying to do. Different numbers but same basic thing. There&#039;s a difference though, his coin was MS, yours isn&#039;t. His coin still had underlying luster, completely invisible of course due to the black toning, but since he could detect no signs of wear (and neither did the TPG who had previously slabbed it) he was willing to gamble that it was indeed there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin however does show signs of wear, that is a given. And as such there is a very good chance that there is no underlying luster remaining due to that wear. This is the thing that really makes the difference with this coin. The other guy, the one with the Morgan, he had like a 50/50, maybe 60/40 (against) chance. But you, I&#039;d say you have like 90/10 chance, against. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;ve made bets with worse odds than that, 30/1, and won. In fact I did it twice in a row once. But ya don&#039;t do it very often.</p><p><br /></p><p>So fingers crossed ? Ya might wanna try crossing your eyes, toes, arms and legs - and then pray <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Needless to say I wish ya luck ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
