<p>[QUOTE="WashQuartJesse, post: 1083883, member: 18323"]Assuming my quarters weren't dipped at some point, as Doug once suggested, is probably naive of me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Most people want either "blast white" or "attractively toned" coins. The majority of coins fall somewhere in the middle...the ones that haven't been dipped, artificially toned, etc... As collectors, I guess we just can't appreciate a coin's naturalness. We want them to look like what time has made them not and we'll be damned if we pay the going rate for an original surface modern coin. I'm as guilty as the next.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
