GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8941 Posts	Posted 05/25/2019 8:57 pm It was probably an ablum coin. It's a nice MS coin with the obverse in the RB state. The reverse just toned down to a BN color. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 05/25/2019 11:01 pm @103070, I can't comment on why one side is toned, but I would caution you to flatten the staples on your 2x2s so that they don't inadvertantly scratch adjacent coins.
