commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 04/20/2026 8:40 pm Quote: What in Your opinion does this coins surfaces tell you, My impressions from the images provided (which can sometimes be misleading): 1. The blue band encircling at the rim does not look natural - a bit too "electric" to my eyes. 2. I don't see the color transitions typically found on a naturally toned coin. 3. The toning seems to have been "applied" to the coin's surface vs. organically developed/ (I realize that it hasn't been applied, I'm just saying that its appearance gives me that impression.) I'm curious to see what PCGS think after it inspects the coin in hand. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
