Coinquester New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 11/02/2023 11:51 pm In The Hand it's all Rainbows on The Obverse with an overall "purplish" aura. The Reverse is all grey but completely flat. I cannot say if there was an attempt at artificial toning or perhaps cleaned or both or neither. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 12:06 am At least EF45. AU if graded south of the border. The toning does not look natural IMO. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 11/03/2023 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 09:00 am I don't see any evidence of wear. I'll say MS details (altered surfaces). Report this Post to the Staff
Levaril Valued Member Canada 289 Posts	Posted 11/03/2023 3:50 pm I see wear so I'm in there at EF45-AU50. This one looks more AU to me. Sounds like it was perhaps over-dipped and then something weird has been done to it. Pretty likely PCGS would QC it I'd say. Report this Post to the Staff
