I love the toning on this coin, but don't know if it is artificial toning or what the grade would be.   |

That looks more like dip residue than toning to me. MS details. A proper dip should fix the issue, and I would call it a MS63 or thereabouts after.

It has that "oily puddle in a parking lot" kind of sheen on it. I vote artificial toning, but I'd try a dip. For now MS details.

What is a dip? I thought it was bad to dip a coin.

Wow. I don't remember the last time I played the "dip residue" card around here, but this coin is a poster child for the look. It could also have been caused by another chemical exposure, but it's not remotely what would be called "natural." I also see what looks like a distinct patch of older glue on the reverse - acetone would be a good first stop for this coin.

Thanks, I won't send it in. It is the only coin I have posted that hasn't been sitting in my mom's safe deposit box forever. I picked this one up at the coin shop to go with the Zombucks series.

I'll say MS63. With a little clean up it might look awesome. But I kinda like the way it looks now too.
