I bought this Barber quarter on eBay yesterday and I believe it is the result of old album toning. Is that a correct assessment? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110492420148&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I suppose it could be. I don't like the pictures. It has the "burnt" look of thermal-treated artificially-toned coins, but that may not be the case. I purchased a coin from TECC once, and I was happy with my purchase. This one could go either way. Just looks like bad lighting for the pic. Good luck!
posssibe contamination from the old cardboard album. the tone is un- natural in appearance, but still a super nice coin.
