<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4651743, member: 101855"]This coin may have looked better when NGC graded it. After a piece has been dipped, it looks good to certain sets of eyes and gets a high grade. If it has not been properly rinsed, it will start to turn. The process can happen very quickly if the coin has a lot of dip residue on it, or it can happen slowly, over a decade or more. It can creep up on you. It has for me on a couple of expensive coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>For a grader, it's tough to spot thus stuff on a bright white, dipped coin. About only defense that the consumer - collector has is to avoid such coins that are in new holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
