[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2756598, member: 1892"]A little counterpoint: Surface preservation: Agreed at 65 but I'm not far from 66 as the fields are pristine. Luster: Not present, in these images. I'm aware Washingtons don't manifest luster the same as other coins, but I see no cartwheel at all. Quite prepared to change my mind with images more suited to depicting luster than the typical Heritage overexposure. No opinion, but leaning "favorable." Strike: Pretty darn good but out of scope for my skills so I'll defer to your greater experience in this category. Eye appeal: Very clear negative. Splotchy, irregular toning which in another issue would be clear sign of improper dipping; I'm not entirely convinced it [B]hasn't[/B] been improperly dipped but again am limiting my certainty due to lesser experience with the issue. Either way, toning patterns like this are_not positives in the eye appeal department. Added: I'm referring to the OP Quarter; I hope you were too.[/QUOTE]
