<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 8635629, member: 19165&quot;]I agree. Even accounting for the soft strike, that seems high. I like it best at 45, but a 50 would not be out of place if the luster is as strong as it seems. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the look of the reverse, Larry - this is your classic example of a coin which circulated, saw some where and tear, and then got put away. Sometime a few decades ago, somebody dipped it white, and then put it in an envelope or album and left it there for a good long time. The toning is classic &quot;retoning after a very old dip&quot; - but that sort of toning is never going to replace the original skin in the center of the fields that was stripped away to leave a white area. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is considered perfectly acceptable, and will sell for a large premium due to the attractive toning (blues are always in high demand!)</p><p><br /></p><p>This has retoned in a more pleasing way than the 1885 Dime you showed earlier today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
