[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2124765, member: 15929"]I know what you are saying and yes, the 1974-S Silver Proof has a string tendency toward toning BUT I firmly believe that this was due to the rinse being used at the time. I've seen 1971-S Coins with blue haze which appears to advance into toning but certainly nothing along the lines of a Silver Eagle. 1972-S Proof are the same in the early years but have a tendency toward green later in the year. 1973-S Proofs don't seem to haze or tome quite as much as the 71's and 72's but there are exceptions. Having wildly toned Silver IKE Proof is no guarantee that the coin has not been messed with since the cases are easily opened and 3 out of 10 won't show any damage at all for reuses. But again, I've yet to see a wildly toned Silver IKE Proof that I didn't "suspect" had been monkeyed with since I have looked at a LOT of these coins in the OGP.[/QUOTE]
