<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4908114, member: 105098"]I feel like it was dipped at some point before I got it, because the toning it does have is like kind of dark and like dead center of obverse, and sort of "ring around the coin", just kind of funky dark toning while I'd think other areas should be showing some toning to some level also for it to look like that. it's scratched and dinged up but the details are there. it is what it is. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p> jeffB, the mark behind the cap is like a contact friction mark or something, it looks like the rim of a coin was against it and it kind of slid around there a bit, like"bag marks" maybe, theres a couple spots, it shows up with this lighting well, but it's less noticeable to the eye, here it looks like someone wrote on it with pencil. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>no idea if that makes it "details graffiti" to them. I won't be sending it for grading though. I've looked for a VAM but it's got nothing special going on to my eyes. there's a lot of marks on it in general though, nothing "deep" but a lot of contact in my opinion, maybe some counter slide also. </p><p><br /></p><p>it was a steal even a decade ago when the guy were offered them me so I grabbed them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
