Grade this Standing Liberty Quarter

I think I'll pass on buying this coin. If you think the color isn't original, it probably isn't.

Are you sendig it to be graded?

 

I guess that should answer your question ;-)

 

Whats wrong with the toning

 

Hi Tom, can you offer some more insight that may help us mere plebians?

I don't see any obvious signs of funny-business regarding the toning. And, given the white balance is off in the images, and the luster is not well represented (it's a good photo, but not a great one), I'd love to know a more detailed response to the question of what sticks out to you about the color besides a one word black-box answer of "experience".

I have seen lots of über-graded SLQs in problem-free slabs with much wilder and questionable color.

 

One could make the argument this has a very light light cleaning and has been retoning.

 

How much is the person asking for the coin?

 

on the toning: the rev looks pretty natural to me. the obv is where I have problems. first, the color looks sort of layered on over top of the surface. Second, you just don't see that kind of color on 1917's in their natural state. third, it just covers the whole obverse which is unusual on a SLQ. I looked through a few pages of images on Heritage and just didn't see anything similar to this coin. Some coin series, even some years within a series, have tendencies to tone, or not, and usually tend towards certain colors and patterns. It is subjective, true, but one has to be skeptical of the outliers.

 

AU details improperly cleaned. The obverse looks like it has been wiped to me.

 

Just post the bloody grade

 

Sorry just got the thought that it hasn't been graded..
