paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/18/2015 10:16 pm The ones I've been posting lately have been slam dunks for the CCF graders. Here's one that might be a little more tricky. This 1909-D Barber 25c has some really cool toning. How do you think it was graded by the TPG?

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 2:11 pm Yeah, that's a big scratch in a prominent position. Plus, maybe it looks good in person, but I myself hate blotchy splotchy toning, no matter the color. Even tone I love, this kind I don't. I'd be at AU50 for a straight grade. It's almost impossible to tell if there are or are not luster or luster breaks. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18712 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 7:59 pm Grading with this much toning is tough. Looks like about 50% luster peaking through. I cant tell if it has any circulation or not so I say AU55 or MS62 Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 12:02 am My guess would be paper envelope toning.
