1921 Peace $1 - do you think this coin has been dipped???

Colorfulcoins

Got this in the mail today.....nice and white and shiny. No signs of hairlines so doesn't look to have abrasively cleaned but I'm wondering if its been dipped or whizzed. I figure the coin is probably XF in terms of wear. I can see a bit of toning tucked in some small spaces - on the obverse where the neck and hair come together to form a "V" shape, and on the reverse at the tip of the eagles tail feathers as well as a spot on the reverse rim where the "T" is in STATES. There's a bit of very very light tone mottling about the outer edges of the coin and into the fields. Just doesn't "feel" right but I can't put my finger on exactly why - what do you think?

Yeah, I think it was dipped

I believe it has been dipped or has been through a light cleaning.....still a nice coin though.

That's a nice Peace$. The 1921 high relief is
the most beautiful $ coin minted for circulation IMO. Your coin's
been dipped but it doesn't detract too much. It is after all a
circulated coin. I wouldn't bother sending it in for a grade.

I've picked up 4 of those on eBay in the past month, hoping to get a nice example for the quarterly grading special. I'm spending more money on the coins than I'm saving on grdaing, that's for sure.
Of the 4 , I'm SURE that 2 have been cleaned, one I'm not sure but have that same feeling you do...just doesn't look quite right. The fonal coin, though, looks authentic, has some light toning, but more importantly, plenty of "dirt" in the cracks & crevices of devices...looks like it will grade out MS58 ....In my world, anyway!

If not dipped, then lightly cleaned.
