Care to comment on the disparity of the obverse to the reverse.

    Looks like the reverse die was a bit worn out.
    Edit- if you're referring to the color difference it was probably stored incorrectly

    Actually coin is graded ms 64

    Well then... the reverse is a weak strike... I would think the obverse is better than 64...Cheers, RickO

    I would bright dip it. Coin will look a lot better and if offered for sale will fetch more money than if left alone.

    Not if you have to break it out to dip it.

    "If"? Is there some other way? 🙃

    Acetone pre-dip of the coin in it's holder is called for.
