[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 25659951, member: 101855"]The same who claim that they want everything to be "orginal" would turn down a lot of the coins that ARE ORIGINAL because they are unattractive. The only way to sell some of those coins is to dip them. Some of the coins THEY THINK are original are what a dealer I once knew called "original now." In other words they retoned after being dipped. Sometimes you get the "neon colors" some of these guys like so much from an improperly rinsed dipped coin. The botton line is most all of the older coins you see have been dipped or cleaned at some point. The question is, is it "market acceptable" or more importantly, is it acceptable to you? I am pretty sure that this Gobrecht Dollar is "mostly original." There is a spot in the right obverse field which may have had something lifted. That brought the coin down from PR-63 or 64 to PR-62. And yes, it has a CAC sticker. [ATTACH=full]1641392[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
