Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 3:43 pm I still think the toning is playing tricks with what we see, but the more I study the face, the more she looks like Whistler's mother. Maybe you're right. Edited by Coinfrog 07/21/2015 4:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 7:37 pm Looks real to me. Thinking the "2" looks distorted through the Mylar. I'd say it's a nicely toned MS-65. It really is pushing Full Bands IMHO. Would have to see it in person with my 30x loupe! Report this Post to the Staff
WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 8:51 pm Ha, this has turned into an interesting discussion! I got my loupe out again and I can confirm that the little "spot" on the 2 and weird distortion around the numbers is due to the toning. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 10:17 pm I think it's real and a well-struck, toned MS64 (no FB due to hits on bands.) Go compare it to Photograde and check the hair detail between a PCGS MS-64, 65 or 66 and OP's coin.

It's always good to see friendly and interesting discussions here at CCF; you can learn a lot from it. Report this Post to the Staff
