[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2331504, member: 24314"]The lawyers have made several TPGS's use this term. In the old days coins were counterfeit. Now they are Questionable Authenticity.:cigar: Think this one out...Many 100% original coins are still preserved as "Blast White." A majority of the are CC Morgan dollars. Barber coins in general are unattractive to me; yet when they are "Blast White" and 100% original they take your breath away...especially the Halves. Key is to know what a true "Blast White" coin looks like and what a dipped coin looks like. In almost fifty years, I have NEVER seen an Over-Dipped coin that was "Blast White" to any experienced (key word here) numismatist. I just learned about this a few minutes ago on a phone call from a dealer who had a PL $10 Liberty back with full mirrors that was not labeled as such! How stupid. They are losing money. More business for the other three. I've even seen medals/tokens, and CA Fractional gold graded PL by ICG.[/QUOTE]
