<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2247032, member: 74244&quot;]I&#039;m still learning about coin toning, and perhaps diagnosing this will always be sort of an art rather than a science, and I&#039;ve got a lot to learn yet. That being stated, in my current view on toning, I think the coin the OP bought, may have had &quot;dip&quot; placed on the head area of the coin, and left the toning alone on the rest of the coin to give it the overall toned &quot;look&quot; that it has.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, I could very well be wrong, but in any event, I still prefer the other coin much more over the OP coin. I prefer a naturally toned, undipped coin, one that hasn&#039;t been played around with, to try to improve it.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, whether he realizes it or not, the OP is also caught up in the registry fever whether he is on the registry or not. Hey, it&#039;s a nice coin for sure, but $600 for a common date, circulation strike, mercury dime? I&#039;d be very happy with a 67 for a lot less money. I don&#039;t mind spending $600 on a coin at all, but not a coin like that. Not to knock any collector, but I am knocking the &quot;registry fever&quot; thing which no doubt does get ridiculous at times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
