one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 11/05/2021 11:58 pm A most above average strike on this first year issue AND the most incredible toning. This is an irresistible specimen indeed! I mainly collect Mercury dimes, so I'm certainly partial for the series in general (and early dates in particular). Quote: If you like the toning, do whatever you can to preserve as is. That means enclosing it in an airtight. Acetone bath and completely dry beforehand. Toning will progress to full grey over time, if you don't take any action. This is in a PCGS slab and was previously in an ANACS slab. So already protected, right? I can't see this going "to full grey"...or am I missing something? Edited by one_fine_dime 11/06/2021 11:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
