What's with this MPL?

I scoped out another MPL in a nice PF-64 grade but something is strange. I can't figure out on what all the black coloring is on the obverse, it also shows some on the reverse. Does anyone know what might be wrong with the strange color?

That is what I would call negative toning. Nothing is necessarily wrong witht he coin it's just not attractive toning... not to mention the big fingerprint.

 

I agree. Sometimes Heritage images hide attractive toning and you have to try and hope you read the image correctly. This time I don't think anything is hidden. Fingerprint and unattractive toning will give someone an opportunity to get a PR64 cheap.

 

lol It's an original MPL. That's often what they look like when they've not been dipped at ATed.
