<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 8562818, member: 76194"]Yeah, I figured as much. The marks are mostly typical bag mark stuff, nothing to indicate it was ever cleaned abrasively. I think a dip is not out of the question though...in fact it's probable it happened. I'm tempted to just let it sit in a desk drawer inside a paper envelope for a few years. That ought to fix that up and add some interesting toning to it. Either way, for me it's bullion with a slight numismatic premium. Which is fine as I don't send my coins to get slabbed anyway. I'm not a "bullion stacker" that needs MS-70 from PSGS or whatever. I'm more concerned with total ounces of gold. Numismatic premium that may add up over the decades is just a side bonus for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
