<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3401917, member: 84595&quot;]I recently received some silver dollars similar to this one that were in a flood and soaked in CLR and other chemicals.&nbsp; They look much like the reverse of this coin including the black environmental or chemical issue.&nbsp; I enlarged the photos and notice that this toning ?????, if you want to call it that, is hiding a multitude of problems, bag marks, scratches and other issues.&nbsp; I talked to dealers who do their own toning to cover up issues.&nbsp; I viewed an 1893-S Morgan Saturday in a PCGS holder VF-35, purchased at the Baltimore coin show,&nbsp; that was toned to hide deep scratch marks adjacent to the neck.&nbsp; In my opinion the grade should never have been VF-35 either.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure someone said &quot;a sucker is born every second&quot; or &quot;some people have more money than brains&quot;.&nbsp; I rate the obverse and reverse of this coin one of the ugliest toned coins I have seen.&nbsp; Just my opinion. Buy a coin for eye appeal, not the holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
