j-win Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 8:45 pm I was very disappointed upon receiving this, because the color wasn't anything like what I thought it would be. It looks like an old, toned silver coin, but it's obviously not silver. The seller's pictures were nothing like this. Has this been dipped in something or is this just natural toning? Any opinions on the grade/toning would be great. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 9:15 pm I think it is low to mid AU. From these pictures, the splotches kind look like a cleaning, IMHO. I am not the best at identifimg cleaning from pictures, though. Nice clash on the reverse! Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 03:46 am I'm in at AU53 and yes I see more yellowed Three Cent Nickels all the time, a normal looking one with some patina IMO. Possibly was dipped once and is retoning, but not AT at me thinks. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
