<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2254995, member: 19165&quot;]As I&#039;ve said many times, a white coin in a TPG holder is considered &quot;market acceptable.&quot; That doesn&#039;t mean it isn&#039;t dipped or cleaned, it just means that a large percentage of collectors wouldn&#039;t have a problem buying it. The coin you posted is way too white and has clearly been messed with - and should be avoided. That&#039;s a really ugly look, but it is considered &quot;market acceptable.&quot; That&#039;s one of many reasons why you can&#039;t just blindly accept the TPG grades, but must learn to grade and understand coins for yourself. It&#039;s a perfect example of buy the coin, not the holder (or in this case, don&#039;t buy the coin, even in the holder). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I was speaking in hyperbole. I didn&#039;t mean he should buy this coin - I meant if he didn&#039;t mind white coins of this era, he can go have fun, but I&#039;m definitely not interested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
