Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 10:41 pm It might just be the picture or the scanned image but does the color look right? Otherwise strong detail on the obverse ... could be a VF20 although the rim hit hurts it a little bit but not sure if it bumps it down to F15. Report this Post to the Staff
coincollect1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1731 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 07:27 am what does the colour mean? Like is it something bad? I know what toning is, and I like the toning on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 3:15 pm Just a little dark, might have had a light cleaning many years ago and retoned to the almost blackish color. I have a few lower grade Seated Liberty halves that I bought when I was starting out that have similar toning, I was told that they were likely cleaned and retoned. I'm most likely wrong don't worry about it. Edited by Joe2007 04/02/2012 3:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 7:48 pm Even if it is retoned I still think you got a deal at what you paid. Most Capped Bust Halves have old cleaning, have been dipped, or have other problems. Report this Post to the Staff
