   Uh-oh! Wait till Russ hears that! Coins that are damaged, and being damaged, definitely deserve a dip. >> Good God!!! I don't want to upset Russ!!!

   Do you vociferous anti-conservationists think future generations of those who collect SMS Kennedy halves would rather have this coin? Or this one? They are the same coin. Russ, NCNE

   << <i>All the history gathered on that coin is gone. >> That wasn't "history". It was garbage accumulated because whomever owned the coin had no idea of how to properly store it. It now looks as it did when originally issued. Russ, NCNE

   It's a shame you can't trust the market what with dipping n' toning. It makes it hard for a buyer like myself to purchase actual beautiful coins. You just don't know.
