An EF45 1802 Draped Bust Half Dollar Dipped in the Name of Greed

[TomB]

But Tom B----you s---k!!

Thank you for the, ahem, compliment, Bob! No need to worry about this piece being dipped over the course of the next half century or so since we know where it will be during that time.

 

Oh, and Hoot, WTF?!?!?!?

TomB,

 

I am doing well. I believe I'll be at Baltimore. Call me on my cell if you wish to catch up before then. Call me during work hours - when I am least busy!

TomB-- when will you ever learn!

 

Toning is corrosion, so removing toning is removing corrosion! At least that's what IWOG done learned you on the PCGS forums.

D'OH!!!

Too bad! It's really a shame that some people will do anything for money. Who knows the hands this coin may have passed through! George Washington? Like jealousy, greed too, is the "green-eyed monster"!

George died Dec 14, 1799 so we can rule him out.

 

Another quote from Othello: I cleaned well although not wisely.

Oops! I knew I should have checked the family tree, first. Maybe I should spend more time dusting off the skeletons in my closet!

 

Change that to George Gobel!

TomB, a beautiful half you have there. Unmessed with and gorgeous. Sad truth of it is though, come that day when you, I and others who would know better are gone - your piece may well come into the hands of someone who JUST CAN'T RESIST ($$$$$) "improving" it a "little".

Oh yeah, shiro's so right - what am I thinking? IWOG, who knows everything about everything INCLUDING that "detriment to coins" (toning, that is), would have little problem with a strip-n-dip. Yep, a vast improvement, that'd be.
