Great example and great pics as usual from viper. I think that SPP would call that "pull away toning" on the obverse example from viper.
Very nice..!!

I have this 1935 dollar in an ICCS holder...Unfortunately it has a few dark spots on both the obverse and reverse that detract from the overall eye appeal.   |

Yes they are very pretty,..but the brilliant ones have all been dipped..but still look spectacular.. That toned dollar of mine was the only one that wasn't.. When you see "blast white", it's been dipped.. D |

Devlec, I was unaware that dipping a coin would produce a blast white finish. Thank you for the post. A question regarding dipped coins and grading,...why is this not noted on the ICCS holder?

I picked up a couple of these a few months back - planning on handing them off to my kids someday. Not MS - maybe AU 50 and they still look great.

It was the standard procedure back in the 70's and 80's..and if done quickly, "no one" knows ,. ...but then again..'all' (most that I know) of the dealers did it back then..and then all silver was placed in 2x2's..(and now hard slabs). They were not damaged in a quick dip.. and the usually ugly toning falls away..and you're left with "blast white".. ..which still might go back to beautiful golden as seen on many coins after a few more decades sitting without movement.. |

i began looking @ the 1935 Cdn.ag.$1.00 15 years ago(2002)..at that time i thought perhaps 30 % may have been melted for silver content etc..now however I believe few where..because of the Commemorative aspect.. judging by the numbers available for sale..still a worthy coin regards  |

Here is my best one:   Sorry, lousy shot of the reverse. Love this coin. Doesn't look dipped to me, but I could be wrong. Looks like mint lustre in real life. Any chance this is MS? |

rockfish..
Your dollar looks like Gem MS even though the obverse is a bit fuzzy..the fields still look near perfect..
Try holding the camera lens perfectly parallel to the coin next time..That should help keep the total surface in sharp focus..

thanks Devlec. Glad you agree. And thanks for the photo advice - I am having a hard time getting good photos.
