<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 26680711, member: 74863&quot;]The coin is nice and clean of marks. That’s good but almost all coins of this age have been cleaned. Yours shows the coin to be light in color in the fields but close to and around the letters and details of the design there are black areas.</p><p>Look at the shield. See the dark areas along the lines in the design of the shield. The design is up and down on the lower part of the shield and side to side on the upper part of the shield. The raised portion of those lines is lighter than the lower part of the lines. You can see the same thing in the letters. Hope that’s help. Just let it tone naturally and it will recover to a point that most will consider it acceptable.</p><p>It’s a nice looking coin but also too light in color for the wear. The wear shows on the high spots such as the eagles wing feathers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
