<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1985017, member: 15199&quot;]The reason I asked is that your photos may not show the coin as it is. If it is on white paper, your color balance is off. If you scanned it, that would account for the &#039;flatness&#039; in color. Which can also occur from a compound such as Deller&#039;s darkener, The pinkness around the mm, bottom of bust, some lettering could indicate someone dipped it at one time in an acidic solution such as vinegar, which was quite common and these could be areas where a toothpick or rose spine was used to remove debris. And then the then-owner found it too pink and used the Darkener. Or maybe not, as we weren&#039;t there its whole life time. If it does look like that , I think there is a 3:1 chance or thereabout, it will come back altered surfaces. Just opinions from the photo. No disrespect intended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
