LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1187 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 7:27 pm Just curious what is on this coin. Looks like a pretty big bright line on the front as well as some bright spots on the back. Is this some kind of toning or maybe a sign of cleaning in the past? The slab shows a straight grade. These are stock photos since I don't own the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 7:43 pm Gold can come in different shades of orange yellow and red due to the alloys. Since gold doesn't tarnish that's what my thought is. Report this Post to the Staff
billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 7:54 pm I don't know what this is, but it is an unattractive film that forms on some gold coins. I avoid it on slabbed coins. Edited by billjones 03/01/2017 09:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1187 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 5:38 pm I can't post any other pictures because I didn't buy the coin. Gold is too rich for my blood but I find it interesting and wanted to learn more about it. I saw a picture of it and was curious what those bright lines were. I agree, it lacks eye appeal.
