<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7598304, member: 101855"]That coin does not look like it's been dipped. It has the usual haze that these silver coins get from storage in the original cellophane sleeves. Here is an example of an original surface Proof from that era. This piece "went bad" because it was exposed to the air in some spots or perhaps it was in contact with tissue paper that had sulfur in it. This piece is graded NGC PR-67.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308474[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1308475[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
