mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 6:48 pm Picked this one up the other day. I'm pretty sure it has artificial toning. This would be pretty extreme toning if it was real. What would you grade it? Edited by mmorgan22 04/19/2012 6:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 6:51 pm Interesting colors; XF45 to AU50 details (cleaned). Too bad about the rim hit @ 3:00 on the reverse and 2:30 on the obverse. What would cause the semi-circular indication under the jaw line?

My guess would be the corner of a cloth from an old lady trying to cover it and stick it in her drawer or something along that nature. Still not sure if the toning is real though.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 7:23 pm I agree with XF45 Details. I'm 95% certain it's AT. Cool pickup regardless Matt :) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 4:31 pm I think the coin appears to be about EF-45/AU-50. I agree the toning is unusual and does not appear to be natural. Report this Post to the Staff
ArrowsAndRays Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 04/20/2012 5:28 pm My CSI guess is that it was cleaned, then subjected to flame. That semi-circle looks like the edge of a chemical burn. EF 45, AT/Cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
