That's weird all coins look basically the same kind of toning if that's what you want to call it . Looks more like environmental issues . Sorry but I'm not a fan .  |

I'm no expert, but if these were in a flood, one would think the paper label would be affected. Here is one of the quarters from a 2005 Heritage auction. It sold for $1,409.90.  |

I agree. Stored under poor conditions, possibly before they were slabbed. |

Good thought. Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Here is one of the quarters from a 2005 Heritage Auction. It sold for $1,409.90. I'm not an expert either. I was being more facetious when I said flood. I've never actually tried to submerge a slab in water. I'm thinking they are air tight, not sure. Not going to try it either. I'm also thinking that guy bought the slab, not the coin in that auction. Like T-BOP said, it's weird how these slabbed mint state coin basically look the same. But kanga could be right. This damage may have started before they were slabbed. I should message the seller and ask him what's the story. I'd be curious to see what his answer would be. |

Just ugly tone on them. As mentioned the paper labels look fine.

This is just toning that doesn't look pretty. That's all.

Just poor scans that make them look much worse and kills all luster. Keyword Scans not pictures

Ugly toning reduces eye appeal, not grade.

Hes not referring to the detail of the coins, but the appearance. Scans can give coins with luster a muted and ugly look. I used to work woth a dealer who used a scanner to photo his coins and they always looked significantly worse in the pictures, especially coins like blast white morgans.

I saw a quarter recently, I can't remember which year but it was a slabbed at least 66 and had a perfect thumb print covering both sides.  . I'll post it on here if I stumble across it again |
