[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1201088, member: 26030"]Did you ever buy something on a whim and then immediately regret it? I recently bought a PCGS Genuine Barber Quarter with what appears to be MS details because it was cheap. It looks like a mint state underneath the color, but I wonder if the articial color might be hiding hairlines from an improper cleaning (or would PCGS have detected that and assigned improperly cleaned) Still, someone thought enough of this coin to submit to PCGS for grading. Should I crack it out of the slab and then give it a quick dip to remove the color? I wonder if I did that, if I would get a coin that would grade? Or should I just stick it out on ebay in the PCGS Genuine holder and get what I can for it? This is what the beast looks like in direct sunlight ... I would like to dump it and I am looking for suggestions. Moral: Dont ever buy anything on whim because it's cheap! [ATTACH]126608.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]126609.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
