They had been lacquered, as have many old time coins. The dealer handling them gently removed the lacquer&nbsp; revealing the blaze white and immaculate surfaces. As I remember, he had a terrible time selling the bust dollars, at least the one I remember, for the same reason as above. Everyone assumed it was dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>To my eye, each coin stands on it&#039;s own. Is the luster impaired? Strike good? Wear and eye appeal? Then who cares if it was dipped.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was one bargain basement priced dollar , as it turned out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
