<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4498590, member: 105571&quot;]I share [USER=78003]@GoldBug999[/USER]&#039;s concerns.&nbsp; There are too many questions about this coin that cannot be answered by the photographs.&nbsp; While a nice looking coin, it is one of the typical WL proof issues of the 40s where the dies were lapped.&nbsp; This specimen came from dies that were lapped and it shows on the obverse on Liberty&#039;s outstretched hand, in the margins of the devices, and on the reverse in the initials.&nbsp; This coin is not the product of what I call &quot;terminal lapping&quot; so it looks pretty good.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know if that plays into the CAC evaluation or not.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The photographs seem to show evidence of a dipping but I am very uncertain of that without seeing the coin in hand.&nbsp; To its credit, I see no hairlines which it cannot have at PR65 or 66.&nbsp; For comparison, I possess 1936 and 1937 WL halves in PCGS PR64 and PR63 respectively that are both green-beaned and both of which are hair-lined and bright, more than suggestive of prior cleaning.&nbsp; So, I would guess that the subject coin got the bean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
