<p>[QUOTE="john65999, post: 8072106, member: 111931"]exactly, it in my opinion has questionable toning, i might be wrong (and probably am) but just because it has toning makes no sense to bump it up 3 grades, if that is market grading, then they can have it, i use photograde (by pcgs) and if a coin looks like theirs for a particular grade, then that is what i grade it, i do not add points because of toning, if anything i sell toned coins at a discount because eventually toning turns to black, it is the normal progression and time doing its work on the metals, how many "blazing" red lincolns grades as such have now turned to rb, or b in their holders?? i tend to be wary of toning, it might look purty, but 20 yrs from now a black disc is what will be ...again, my opinion, and like noses everyone has one..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
