jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 7:40 pm Part of my ongoing trek through my 35 year old safety deposit box. This one has a definite purple tone to the entire thing, that I could only capture in one photo when I shot the coin from an angle in the sun. This was the grading from the guy I bought it from, way back in the late 70s: You get more of a hint of the purple in this angled shot (the photos don't do the purple justice). More of the purple: Thanks all. Edited by jakesis 01/13/2015 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 8:15 pm The whole purple hue is wrong which leads me to believe it was cleaned at some time and has retoned/corroded. If you picked it up for $39 as the 2x states you did pretty good. Report this Post to the Staff
jakesis Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 8:16 pm Oh that's interesting. I figured it was just late stage toning or something. Well, I mean, you're suggesting it is, but it's the wrong toning :) I probably paid at most that. Usually the old gentleman who sold me these gave me a price below what was on them.
