<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 315821, member: 1242"]Although it is really hard to tell from the pictures, IMHO the coin is natural and has not been dipped in any kind of solution! The Seller even notes that they have tried to get the pictures (colorwise) as close to the actual color of the coin as possible! Anyone on Coin Talk that sells coins on eBay will tell you that getting the color of a coin in a picture to be exactly the same as it appears in person on the coin, is extremely difficult and at times, almost impossible. The thing that I would note in determing if the coin had been dipped is the rims and the lettering. Note how dark the rims and most of the lettering is on the coin! If the coin had been dipped, then these would be the same or nearly the same color hue as the fields and the details!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
