[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 4581133, member: 19250"]Coin #3 has been dipped no scrubing, but again a high Au. Plenty of details.and again retoning with age. Now the important question knowing this would you purchase any of the 3 ? Based on whay I've told you and what your eye tells you. Keep in mind most every piece of seated coinage has been wipped. I dont go after detail coins but .... to obtain the die marriages of the series you sometimes need to lower the bar a tad bit. Out of the 3 coin 1 has the most damage...do to being tooled and whizzed. It is an excellent example of what a doctored coin looks. Especially to a newbie untrained eye for details, and thinking wow it looks like it just came off the press. I see this alot as a lot of newbies mistaken the color or its brightness as a unc specimen. Its funny my eye always goes to darker skin coins before bright mirror like coins. I find them easier to read...and even if they have been wiped dont stand out like coin 1.[/QUOTE]
