Morgan VAM before and after dip pixs

DennisH

I bought these coins because they're tough-to-find VAMs I needed. I planned from the get-go to break them out and send them to PCGS, and since I hated the way the toning limited the lustre and eye appeal they each got a quick dip as soon as they were out of their old holders. Here are the before and after scans; I'm really pleased with how they turned out, because I like white Morgans

Dennis,

Good job on the dip. I have always been too scared to dip a coin in fear of messing it up. You have done a good job, though.

Congrats on the crosses.

Richard.

I like the original surface myself, but that's just a personal preference.

Crossed at the same grades but now you've lost the documented VAM's and the "originality."

Is that really considered a "good" thing ??

I could understand if they up-graded, or if they were originally in one of the lower TPG slabs, but from NGC to PCGS at the same grade ??

I don't see the benefits ??

VAMs are always worth more in PCGS Holders.

Edited to add: White coins will sometimes upgrade in my experience because they bring out the luster.
