<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 775738, member: 112&quot;]Looks completely natural to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>sturm - based on your recent posts now that you know how to post pics, it seems that you have some concerns about the coins in your collection. But I haven&#039;t seen you post anything yet that is not in a PCGS slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now it&#039;s perfectly fine, encouraged even, for you to ask questions and post pics of your coins - if for no other reason than to share them with us. But if a coin is slabbed by PCGS, or NGC for that matter, then you really don&#039;t have much to worry about. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the grade may be off by 1 point now and then, depending on who you ask of course. But there is virtually no worry about the coin having been harshly cleaned or being a problem coin of any kind. There is virtually no worry about the coin having artificial toning. And there is no worry about the coin being genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in regard to a coin being dipped - it&#039;s pretty much an accepted fact by the vast majority of numismatists that any coin older than say 20 years that is not toned in any way - has been dipped. But that is not considered to be a bad thing. By most anyway. </p><p><br /></p><p>True, there are those who prefer to collect coins with fully original surfaces. And the number of those people is growing daily and has been for the last 7 or 8 years. But there is still a very large portion of the collecting community, I would say a majority even, that prefer their coins to be untoned. And the only way they can own untoned coins, older coins anyway, is to own dipped coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So relax sturm, you really don&#039;t have much to be worried about <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
