ZeroHedge makes debut at White House press corps briefing
It is the first type of patina to be dipped off when located. It is purely original and that antique tone cannot be replaced after a dip, no matter how long the coin is stored nor in what environment.
Once that original skin is lost the coin never recovers.
It is a treat and a delight to see such coins still in the market place.
I think it's a dandy catch and would love to own it myself.

Perfectly said.
I also love this toning.
Whenever I see a coin like this one (in an old NGC fattie) it soon becomes mine

Sorry, that coin would be instant rejection for me, especially if it were assigned a high grade on it like MS-65. For the amount of money you have to pay for that grade, you can get something with a lot more eye appeal.

I'd pass on that one. Not my cup of tea.

I'd keep looking. The toning on that Barber doesn't add positive eye appeal. You might want to consult the PCGS grading set in its Guidelines for Eye Appeal:

It's funny, if that toning was on say a Heraldic Eagle in ChAU or MS, this place would probably be thumbs upping it to death.
But on a Barber dime, not too much love.

maybe you should ask if you would rather have this coin as a 64
or a 'similar' coin as a freshly dipped white 66
