Broadstruck, you just HAVE to dip that one... it does have potential.... sorta like cleaning up a groupie and having her win 'Next American Model'... or something like that.. Cheers, RickO

Thanks Ricko but I have no intentions of dipping this Barber... I know the scuff or walk mark from contact with another coin on the obverse is more pronounced due to the toning and would be an oversight even in a MS64 holder if dipped. The coin has intense luster which is demonstrated by the progression of toning that is well protected by the design elements on the Barber quarter and halves especially the reverse... so yes I'm sure it would dip without looking dead. I only purchased this 1892-O as "A" it to meet my self standards of being overly attractive as an AU64 slider, "B" as it's one of the most well struck obverse 92 New Orleans Obverses that I have seen as this delivery even in TPG MS66 holders is generally mushy within the Hair and Leaf region.

...someone has you down pat !!
By the by, my fine friend, my watch-group at JJ Teaparty just sent me a coin that needs to imaged... 1892-P Quarter ANACS 58 DDO & RPD. I'll have it at FUN - and I'm going to cross it at PCGS. I bought it sight unseen. What a pleasant surprize I had when I opened that envelope !!
Once imaged... we'll see who's eating whose heart out...
