<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2155240, member: 73983"]Not all coins that have a wet look are whizzed or cleaned or dipped. I have a 1943 Walking Liberty Half in MS-66 that when I first received it, looks wet. The luster is just incredible. It also may be due to a late die state, which my Half is. The metal flows slightly differently as the die get's towards the end of it's life. Over dipping a coin is supposed to remove luster not add to it. </p><p><br /></p><p>But in the end, you did the right thing.. If you not happy with it, return it, if that's an option. I had a 1944 Mercury Dime that I posted on here. It's was in a PCGS MS-67 holder. I did not like the die polishing that was evident next to Liberty's face, or the weak strike on the back. I returned it and bought a 1942 MS-67 NGC holdered dime. I am totally in love with it. In fact, I honestly can't believe it did not make FSB. I'll take a photo of it soon and get some opinions on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
