[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3956051, member: 19165"]Wow, that is actually a significant improvement. The spots on the obverse really hurt the eye appeal. The coin has clearly been treated, but I like that you were measured in your application - you left some of the toning and didn't make it blast white. If it was blast white, it would have been ruined. I think the best thing for this coin is to put it in a paper envelope for a while and let it regain some patina. I like the luster, but it needs a bit of skin.[/QUOTE]
