<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 858069, member: 15309&quot;]That is a proof coin which develops toning in a much different fashion than mint state coins.&nbsp; Cobalt blue is almost the norm for early proofs.&nbsp; This knowledge lessens the chances that the coin has been dipped but there still is a very good possibility that it has been dipped.&nbsp; I assume you have not owned it since 1905 and don&#039;t know for sure.&nbsp; How do you explain the spotting in fields?</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, I don&#039;t know why everyone is in an uproar over my comments.&nbsp; Secondary toning after a dip is not considered AT and many collectors actually find the look attractive.&nbsp; I don&#039;t because I am not crazy about the color scheme.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, that is a great photo, did you take it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
