Would you dip this Morgan?

This is a very well struck coin with nice mirrors. It has unsightly, splotchy reddish toning on both sides. Would you dip it?

    The question you should ask your self- am I slabbing this for future sale or putting in an album for way in the future sale- or just let it be and have it graded? can't see the red from your pics- but coin looks to be a 63 candidate.

    AHH...It's only an 80-S. if the redness bugs you that much...DO IT. JMOimage By the way, it's a excellent lookin' specimen.

    It's already in a slab. I knew the answer to the question before I posted it, just wanted to see what others would do.

    It's hard to say, since there is no unsightly color in the photos shown- but I would always err on the side of not dipping....

    It does have some nice contrast.

    I can't really see the splotchiness in that picture. But if I found it unsightly, then, *sploop!* into the Jeweluster it'd go, faster than you can say dip-itty-doo-dah! image

    Edit: I dunno if I would go so far as to crack it out of a slab, though.

    You can't see the reddish streaks in the fields to the right of the eagle on the reverse?

    I think if you dip this coin,the marks on the cheek & neck will show more than they do now.JMHO

    Nope. In my opinion, it's not worth cracking it unless you are trying to upgrade it -- and that's not commercially attractive to risk potentially downgrading the coin, for the potential upside gain from MS-63PL to MS-64PL -- unless you think that it could be a shot DMPL if you are able to dip it and remove the red streakiness.

    Stuart, there is no way I'm cracking the coin out. It's an easy DMPL today, and I only paid $50 for it. It's going in my box of goodies.
