jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 12:37 pm The coin was blast white when it entered the holder, now it has PCI toning. Some swifty marketers would call this beautiful monster toning, I would call it ugly. Grade wise, I am at 61 or 62. Can't pass up a good deal even if the coin is ugly! Suffering from bust half fever.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7620 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 5:18 pm Since there is no toning on the reverse I suspect it was like this when it went into the slab. I'd guess the PCI graders bumped up the numerical grade from 61/62 to 64 due to the toning. Others may have different opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 6:31 pm From what I have seen the toning on the PCI holders do tone on both sides. The toning on the OP example does appear to be market acceptable regardless of holder toning or pre-holder toning. See PCI toning example below: Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7620 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 11:41 pm Love those old PCI holders. Definitely has market acceptable toning (from the holder) on both sides along with spot-on grading at MS64. Lovely coin that is aging nicely! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 12:36 am Nice eye appeal just for now. But it won't stay that way. Beautiful toning is delicate and unstable, and it will loose eye appeal over time. Report this Post to the Staff
