[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 470307, member: 13650"]Well, this just came in today. I love the look of it but I suspect it's been cleaned. The darker area between the wing and America and by the arrows, and outlining the field inside some features has been noted. By the auction pics, I expected it to be dull, but when I got it, I found it to be shiny, like a 1998 quarter that's been in circulation for a while. No pin wheel luster. Hard to photograph that aspect. Please offer your opinions on this coin and grade if you dare. No cheating. I think the grade is obvious. Also, can this type of toning be AT? Would it be easy to produce or not likely? It has a 7 day return policy. Dia. is 30.47 (spec 30.6) mm. Weight is 12.30 (spec 12.44) grams.
