POLL: Another comparison of coins, one dipped, one not.

Russ

Just to satisfy Stman , here's another poll. Which is dipped, and which is not.

Note: Some of you who've read past threads of mine may already know the answer on this one.

That's what I say, but I voted for the 69-D....who would dip a 70-D ??

XpipedreamR

It's hard to say. The metal composition is too similar

numismatic2004

The 70-d has been dipped

RGL

The '69 has received a little TLC ...

Looks like there's some white stuff on JFK's cheek on the 69... possibly because of a past dip?

They actually quite frequently come out of the mint sets with spotting.

Coins cannot be accurately graded by a scan nor can they be identified as "dipped" if properly done.
Oh yeah......Bleeeeech

Hello

the 70 ?

nankraut

I vote for the 70D, even tho' it doesn't make sense.

hey Russ

the point you make is a good one, but the fact that there's a 50/50 chance of being right either way will only help those who believe they can always tell a dipped coin feel better about their ignorance if they get it correct!!! because i know the answer, i'll stay silent.

i said the 69, nice post very helpful

Russ

In this case, it is the 1969 that has been dipped, so 50% of you nailed it. BTW, it's now graded PCGS MS66, which is a pop 45/1 coin. The 1970 is still raw and likely grades MS65. Haven't decided yet whether or not I'll submit it.

The 69 is a little out of focus, but looks funny. So I voted for it.
