<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 2552243, member: 31773"]It's actually a good candidate for a coin doctor tone job. I'd bet a good doc could layer-on a market acceptable toning onto this one, which would hide the hits and transgressions nicely. Looking into my crystal ball, I see MS66 or maybe MS67 in this coin's future, with many oohs and ahhs as it gets a green bean. Cynical? yes, but I've seen such coins and I'm sure this is an intermediate step in the process. It's just that the seller, like most folks who dip coins, is unethical enough to destroy a coin by dipping (maybe it was really ugly...), but still ethical enough (or perhaps simply unskilled at the craft) that they don't go further and retone it into a monster.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one reason I like copper, as it's easier to detect these kind of shenanigans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
