Dip job gone bad?

rlawsha

Take a look at this 1983-D Washington quarter. Does it look like it would regrade at the same level to you? I don't think it would make it into a 67 holder again. I know the pictures are poor but it kind of looks like the coin turned in the holder to me, maybe because of a dip job that wasn't neutralized right. What do you think? I suppose it is possible the haze is on the holder but I don't think so.

Hmmm.... if those spots are on the coin.... not one that I would care to have.

Nope, there's no silver in that coin. However, I have seen MS clad coins develop haze after being slabbed. (That to me is a Registry coin.)

I have seen clad coins that were dipped turn out like that. They look fine for a while then haze over. I know because I learned the hard way by dipping one.

That coin needs to be sent in for the grade review. They'll either fix it or buy it from you. In its current condition, that coin is unacceptible.

Bright white luster with a full strike.

Funny how the seller fails to mention anything about its butt-ugliness........ Maybe he's just hoping somebody is buying the plastic........
