<p>[QUOTE="Cascade, post: 2900052, member: 75984"]What do you guys think. I'm a little hesitant to dip better dates that are a bit on the dark side as it's not a sure fire bet it will turn out well. The coin does have amazing luster and I can see nothing underneath that will give it a details grade. It isn't so dark that I can't see under the color. The areas I'm concerned about where it is too dark is the back of the hair and stars opposite it. If the rest of the coin comes out well but still leaves traces inside the recesses of the hair I'm screwed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I don't like is how the color makes the planchet roller lines look like damage that someone added color to try to hide which is not the case, and there is pullaway, but that's not to say a grader won't think that with a 5 second scan and QC it. Plus, if it does come out right I will get more money for a nice blast white 63 than a 63 with this color even if it straight grades as is. #Decisions</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]698370[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698372[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]698375[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
