<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7293282, member: 101855&quot;]You can buy the coins that look like that; I am not going to do it. Some gold pieces develop a haze after a while that covers the whole coin. It probably has something to with the environment in which they are stored. The 1925-D quarter eagle in the bezel has it. It makes the coin look dull and for some people, undesirable.</p><p><br /></p><p>As much as we might not like it, shine sells to some people. That&#039;s why you see so many coins, silver, copper and gold, frequency in that order, that are dipped. Using friction is the quick, and easy way to shine up coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think that that 1925-D quarter eagle looked like that when it was struck. I have a couple pieces in my collection, one a slightly circulated piece, and the other an certified MS-65. These pieces have the &quot;haze free&quot; surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>A &quot;slider&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276276[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>A certified MS-65</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276277[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
