Coin show today by our local coin and stamp clubs. I picked up a few items, but I can't get an accurate photo of the toning on this '39 dollar. This gives an idea, but the obverse has some stunning toning. There's some on the reverse, but not a lot. It's in an ICCS flip and I know the guy that sent it in, so I know it's natural.
I really hate trying to photograph the ICCS flips, which is why I didn't even post the reverse photo - there is toning, cartwheel-like, but not as thick as the obverse.
dave could you share a bit more detail on that.. I'm not exactly understanding what you mean.. but I have heard so much about artifical toning and such I would like to know how exactly you spot the real deal...
Pull away is the small areas above the letters that are void of toning. You can see many examples on this web site. http://www.jhonecash.com/coins/tone...racteristics Click on the coin labeled "Forrest Fire" and you'll see an excellent example of pull away.
