[QUOTE="GoldCoinLover, post: 405844, member: 4336"]Just an update. I took the coin to a dealer, Xavier Coins and currency in mesa. When I went in, I immediately recognized the dealer there, at least, one of them. He was from a scottsdale coin show I used to go to with my other coin friend dennis. The other guy I didn't recognize. I had him look at it and he basically told me it looked to him that the coin was artifically toned because there was an orange patina on the obverse and not the reverse. I disagree with him completely and think the coin is orgininal. Heck, not even sure why I brought the coin with me, just wanted a second opinion. I didn't believe him for a second, and came out of the store more wiser. He also mentioned after he said that that it IS slabbed by NGC, so thats all that matters. We all have opinions.
