I didn't know toning would affect grade.
toning can affect grade as it relates to eye appeal. especially toning balance. is the toning balanced over the entire coin or just on one side? is the toning pleasant to the eye? is it symmetrical and consistent on each side?
your obverse shows a strong eye appeal for balanced toning, however the reverse does not match that which is ok since its balanced itself, however, it would grade higher for eye appeal if both sides were similar
the components for grading are
- strike
- luster
- surface preservation
- eye appeal
