Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7597991, member: 105098"]the appearance, and I don't know if it's true or not, is that it was dipped to remove bad toning, and they didn't get it all, and then sent it for grading, My opinion it's a dog. it may be worthy of a crackout, and conservation if the price is right and still look good as a MS66. but you should look to getting it at a price that factors in those costs to straighten it out. I wouldn't do it myself though, I'd let PCGS correct it and conserve it, BUT that also might be as much as they are willing to do on it already and the rim toning is covering something less appealing that black spots. Just another opinion of course. I think it could go low and might be a good candidate to do what I suggest, but it will depend on the price closer to the end of the auction if it's worth it, I don't think it bumps up to 67 if it's conserved though. but I think if you can get it at around Proof 63-64 money, it might be worth it overall, clearly those toning spots are too dark to leave it like that. the stuff on the rim edge is the most concerning. So if the price is right.... it's worth you keeping an eye on it.[/QUOTE]
