<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 858942, member: 2972&quot;]I can&#039;t explain it other than to note that there are a number of original proof sets that show this very same coloration (splotchy red/blue/violet).&nbsp; However, as you point out, since the coin has not been in my posession since the time it was minted, and my coin does not have a tracable provenance, there&#039;s no way to really be sure.&nbsp; You also make a good point about proof coins toning differently than mint state coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the point of my posting the coin was to suggest there are original coins that have this coloration and it is not necessarily indicative of a secondary toning.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I did.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; This was one of the coins rephotographed after I upgraded cameras from the D100 to D300.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
