[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3583385, member: 19250"]They are scratches that filled when the coin was completly toned. Think of it as muddy tennis shoes......yes you wiped them but the mud or dirt stilled remained in areas where the wipping of the shoe didnt clean that area. This coin was completely toned at one time , dipping only removes so much in order to get the mud out of your shoe one needs to brush or scrub it all out. Dipping will not remove 100 % of this type of toning. It will hid in ever place on the surface. I find half dimes all the time that look just like this toned dipped....then either retoned for the better or worst......the old albums and coin boards toned coins sooner or later.....after years of storage in them.[/QUOTE]
