Grade vs. toning...these are very old pictures and very low res but you get the idea! The reverse is textile toned, not thumbprinted, but the toning is so complete that it pretty much covers the entire obverse. I call this one the "supertoner." It inspired a pretty strong debate when it was first slabbed by PCGS a few years ago.

paralyse- Did the coin look this way when it was first slabbed?

@USSID18, I bought it from a dealer after it had just come back a few months prior, so I don't know, but I imagine so. I bid 50% under FMV via offer and it was accepted, I like the coin but most of the market wouldn't care for it at all :P

paralyse- Nice pick-up on the purchase price! I'm assuming you're planning on keeping it in the slab? Do you have a Washington quarter Album? I've broken all mine out and put them in the Dansco.
