Was this cleaned but the TPG missed it? Also if you look up the cert validation, there is no red toning on the coin. Could it have toned that much in the slab (or can you just not see the red toning from the NGC site)? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1949-S-Roos...AOSwKOJYHSoJ Edited by LibertyEagle20 12/30/2016 09:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/30/2016 09:38 am Newest NGC slab which reduces chances of slab scratches. What you are seeing is die polishing lines on the coin. This is an exceptional coin as the 66 FT is tough to find and this one is well deserving of the grade. As for the tone, I didn't take the time to look it up on NGC, but the toning is also exceptional. Most toning on this issue is black and brown and spotty. I ended up settling for a 67 without FT which isn't worth a quarter of this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 12/30/2016 09:38 am Looks to me like the lines on the obverse are simply die polishing lines, and the heavy Mark on the reverse looks like a scratch/crack on the holder. The NGC website looks the same to me as far as toning too, it's just the NGC pictures have different lighting. Edited by Jake the Dog 12/30/2016 09:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 01/04/2017 7:07 pm Roosevelt dimes (especially high grade ones) are known for having really nice toning and this one is no exception. I also agree that those lines appear to be on the coin and not on the slab. On a side note, a few years ago, I had a really nice toned Roosevelt dime In PCGS MS-65 or MS-66 that I bought for next to nothing at my LCS. I took it to the next show I went to and ended up trading it for a Morgan dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
