nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 11/21/2011 12:30 pm Another one - is this one closer to RB? Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 5:41 pm looks RB to me with a little woodgrain toning, but the TPGs might just attribute it as brown. I think it should have more bright red showing and some brown for a RB attribution. might look better in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 6:17 pm Nice! I agree, a TPG would probably go BN on this one. I'm going with MS64RB. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 9:20 pm Beautiful toning. I will say MS-63 BN with a * for exceptional eye appeal Report this Post to the Staff
jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 10:42 pm unfortunately I think this coin was retoned if you bought this from the same seller as the other coins that you posted. Look at the surfaces they are too shiny like the date it looks almost wet. If you look at this under a loupe you should be able to tell there is an extra layer like paint almost.

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 12:46 am Not sure if it was retoned IHC's often develop some spectacular color naturally. Here's an example: http://images.goldbergauctions.com/...e=28&lot=873 I'll defer to the experts on this one though Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 2:27 pm That toning may have been chemically-induced and it may not have. Only were I a moron would I consider a question like that material, however. That coin is in nice condition. Off both series of pics, it looks to me to be every bit a technical MS64.

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 11/26/2011 2:35 pm I agree with fenton on the toning that can naturally occur. As another example, here's my '81 Proof that was a PF64BN. I would call yours a MS64 also.... Great strike. PG Report this Post to the Staff
