What causes this and does it bring value to the coin? This is a very strong strike by the way...notice the cheek bones. Report this Post to the Staff

103070 Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 4:19 pm Thank you all nick10...yes I'm using a scope :) T-BOP...what do you mean about AT? So...what grade would you give this without the toning, 65, 66, 67? Doe the toning bring the value down of such an extreme strike. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 5:19 pm AT = Artificial Toning . Most likely by some kind of heat . Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 5:44 pm Without the toning, and without the pattern on the obverse that could be a fingerprint, I'd say 67. That's one sweet coin for the date, I see no major dings, if not for the rim hits (and toning) maybe it would go 68. Which scope? Gotta get me one since those pics are great.
