gibby3 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 01/04/2010 10:41 pm I would like opinions on this coin I just purchased, specifically the toning, I haven't seen very many toned coins in person, mostly just pictures on the computer. In hand the coin looks kind of glossy. Hopefully the picture is good enough. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 01/04/2010 10:44 pm Your coin looks to have AU details however, the toning IMO is artificial. Looks spotty. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 01/04/2010 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 08:25 am I would grade this coin at AU-55, looks like it may have been dipped at some point and is just starting to re-tone. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/05/2010 08:43 am is the coin actually that blue color in hand? I agree it looks to be in AU condition and even though I am not a tine expert I don't think I have ever seen one with that much blue like this one shows, usually there is blues under a darker color Report this Post to the Staff

gibby3 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 10:30 pm thanks for all of the responses. The coin does have some blue on it but the lighting I use to photograph exaggerated it some. Report this Post to the Staff
