<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1154584, member: 112&quot;]This my guess - from what I can see based on the pictures it looks like this coin was allowed to tone to the point that it was black. Then somebody dipped the coin, but very quickly.

The dip has revealed this. What you see now as dark spots/areas are the remains of that dark, thick toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it is, I would say the coin has MS details but that it has environemntal damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
