Interesting to me that looking at the posted coin for sale. The seller does not have, "Mouse over image to zoom in."
This sends me a red flag telling me what do you ( the seller ) do not want me to see.
I would like to see the toning up close. Is it AT or NT?

It looks natural to me but I see some black spots on the reverse so I suspect they are trying to hide that. Its not exactly what I would call "monster toned" maybe if by monster he means Frankenstein  |

I'm thinking it turned (possibly deliberately) in the slab; I doubt PCGS would give a coin looking like that one a 65.

Well, by beautiful coin I meant that it was MS65, so I thought it was beautiful before the toning. Should've explained more I guess. |

Sorry mods, I thought I put it in the right section since it was an ebay listing. My mistake, thank you all for keeping this forum so great. |

That is perfectly normal toning. Have many coins similar. I do NOT like it when the brown/copper toning gets that heavy though. Certainly not what I would term monster toning.

Blast white 1964 quarters can be found for a bit over melt at most coin shops. I found this pic with a google search of words like 'crust, toning, silver coin, ms, pcgs'....  I love old crusty silver. I don't like the use of the word 'monster' when describing any coin. I was 2 years old when the '64 was minted. That coin isn't old in my opinion. NumisMedia prices show it to be a $20 coin. The '95 Barber is well beyond my price range. I wonder what the '64 will be worth in another 70 years?  I'll be long gone by then but...I do have a 3 year old granddaughter.  |

Scotty11, pardon my ignorance but what does the word friend on the slab of that barber mean?
Feel free to call me Will.

I'm posting just to read the 'friend' explanation myself. NICE Barber quarter. The Washington, not so much. |

It MIGHT refer to a Dale Friend who has a registry set of Bust Halves with toning.
Google: PCGS+Friend
Searching Google often provides a lead.

That one looks almost as bad as the one posted a while ago that toned around a fingerprint on the coin.

I can appreciate a toned coin...but this one would not be it. However it might get a steal of a price.
