lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 2:22 pm Just got this 1937 50 Cent that I would like your opinions on. Although not shown very clearly in the photos this coin has a lot of original mint lustre with a little toning at the bottom of the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

GaryN Valued Member Canada 293 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 2:59 pm I could be wrong, but it appears to have been cleaned by a chemical and the toning is more of a chemical burn than age toning. VF30 + condition Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 3:50 pm ..that's what I thought too.. it looks like someone held a match to it. EF-40 or so but, the darn toning takes away eye appeal IMO Report this Post to the Staff

lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 6:08 pm I can assure you this is not an asyn coin... Lol Got this from a private sale and it is still in a very old cardboard holder which from the looks of it has contained this coin for many years. The mark is definitely toning although I do agree that the picture looks like it is burnt or something. As far as cleaned, I don't think so but who knows what someone may have done years ago...

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 6:24 pm I know those holders, they are old and I've seen them leave a lot of PVC on coins too, so change that 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 6:51 pm I grade it EF-45. I see very little wear on the reverse and don't see any cleaning, not sure why my grading is so far above the others? Report this Post to the Staff
