<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2301113, member: 1892&quot;]Quoted for truth. The whole point of Proofs (and PL/DMPL&#039;s) is that their fields are more perfectly flat than the microscopic irregularities required for &quot;luster.&quot; Being so flat, they can better tolerate the even stripping of layers of molecules.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a &quot;dip gone wrong,&quot; I think it&#039;s an incomplete dip pushed as far as the owner dared, maybe to recover from the noticeable color from a previous dip having toned too quickly. Yes, you should expect the process to reduce &quot;cameo&quot; but there are some pretty_frosty 1884-CC&#039;s out there. This may have originally been one of them; the fields certainly hint at it. Not discounting the possibility that the color happened completely since the dip (although odd that it became so dark over such a small area), or that the coin has been dipped at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
