<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Luckydas, post: 2327939, member: 69762&quot;]It is absolutely the same coin. Many tiny nicks appear in exactly the same spots; the top hair ribbon, the ear, the field in front of her neck, the back edge of her head above the ribbons. On the reverse, the shield is full of identically placed nicks, on the left shield edge, and just inside the left edge, a little higher, there are nicks at&nbsp; the top of the first set of vertical lines where they meet the horizontal lines of the shield top part.&nbsp; However, it is true that there are, in fact, many light marks which are difficult to see on the toned version of the coin. That is exactly what the toning does; it hides small defects. And it does it well. I actually feel that this artificial toning truly helped this coin. But it is deceptive, and intended to falsely bring a higher price by obscuring defects. If the price were lower, I would still gladly buy this coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
