Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 10/16/2007 1:37 pm The toning is challenging the eyes of this Old Collector, but I'll go with VF-25. I've not seen a cent with toning like this before. It makes me suspicious that the surfaces may have been altered in the past; but I certainly wouldn't swear to it. Report this Post to the Staff
justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 10/16/2007 2:08 pm The coin still has a relatively crisp appearance and I would even go higher VF-30 maybe VF-35 if it was not for the weird toning pattern. The top of the reverse has some more natural looking toning but I am really confused about the horizontal slashes of red poking through on the obverse. Do you know how it was stored? I like it though. Thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff
halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 10/16/2007 2:24 pm I'd call it AU. I would explain the striations and uneven toning as variations in planchet composition, similar to the woodgraining effect. Nice cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 12:27 pm EF-40 possibly EF-45 in hand .Just a little too much wear is evident on the cheek jaw and lapel to make AU. I like the wood grain on the reverse ! Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
