[QUOTE="olero, post: 2254650, member: 75504"]I don't own this coin. I was just polling for some of out members thoughts. It is so hard for me to tell if a coin has been dipped or not. I can usually tell if there is hair lines or dark areas around the devices. I can also tell if something has been polished. But a dipped coin is a little harder for me to detect via pictures. In this era coins was not struck consistent because the mint didn't have there steam press until some time in the 1830s. This could account for the flow lines. I don't know how it was photographed. So it could be a "Blast White". Just because a coin such as this is not in a TPG holder doesn't make it suspect. I have coins in my collection for over 30 years that aren't holders. The owner claims it to be an "overton 105a.[B]" [/B]Since I am not into the different verities I don't know much about that.[/QUOTE]
