What are your thoughts on this 1836 Half Dollar. The toning is something else... http://cgi.ebay.com/1836-Bust-Half-Dollar-XF-O-112-Original_W0QQitemZ200162405455
I saw that - I really did not care for the toning. Those two spots on the front worry me - is it some type of corrosion, or just darker toning. Just my opinion.
Some of the people on ebay use fake toning. I don't know if this one is real or not, but I would like to actually see the coin before buying it, especially since it's 112 bucks.
They appear to line up with smaller spots on the reverse. I'd guess it is corrosion of some sort running all the way through the metal.
