<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 2254715, member: 7638&quot;]Definitely dipped to remove all patina, and cleaned as well (hairlines right obv field).&nbsp;&nbsp; As pointed out by rzage, any &quot;white&quot; 150+ year old coin must have been dipped and/or scrubbed to look that way.&nbsp; May I suggest you go to collectivecoin.com and look at some of the CB halves there to get an idea of the wide range of original surfaces?&nbsp; Then compare with much&nbsp; of what is offered raw on eBay.&nbsp; You will learn quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
