Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 8:54 pm Hi all, I've been posting a lot recently, and I appreciate the feedback. I haven't had too many purchasing "wins" recently, and, unfortunately, I think this recent acquisition is a problem. I don't see how the reverse isn't AT, but that's my question: any way the toning on the reverse is natural, or acceptable? The shame is that the coin has a TON of luster. I'd say it's MS 64 without the issue. Lemme know what you think! Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 9:51 pm so the reverse doesn't scream artificial toning? Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7962 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 08:01 am I don't know enough about artificial toning to comment. But there may be evidence of cleaning obv. In the first photo there are what appear to be abrasions running left to right at the top of the star. In the third photo there are similar streaks running SW to NE. (I suppose these could also be die polishing marks?). And the fields are noticeably brighter than the areas with the devices. Maybe this was a darkly patinated coin that a previous owner tried to clean obverse, was unhappy with the result, and tried something different reverse? Alternatively, the coin might have been stored with the reverse contacting something that led to an uneven patination. I have UNC bronze coins that were probably stored with a rubber band around them, leaving a black stripe across a bright orange obverse surface.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 12:26 pm AU-58, nice coin. The toning looks typical of a coin that was stored in a coin envelope or even an album. I don't think it would be considered AT. Report this Post to the Staff
