[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2327242, member: 46237"]This is my main US series (I collect by Browning type). I would be suspicious of any small capped bust quarter XF and below if it didn't have dark toning. The examples posted in this thread are all excellent representations of typical toning for this series. You start to get a greater variety of toning once you get into AU+, but there are also definitely dark grey examples in higher grades. Here are some examples from my collection of different typical grey patinas for this series. 1836 B-1 (R2) ds 6/3 (weakly struck eagle's head) NGC AU50. [ATTACH=full]471290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471289[/ATTACH] 1832 B-2 (R2) ds 1/1 NGC XF45. [ATTACH=full]471291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471292[/ATTACH] 1834 B-1 O/F (R1) ds 2/5 NGC AU53. [ATTACH=full]471297[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471298[/ATTACH] 1834 B-3 (R3) ds 2/1 NGC AU50 (strikethrough on cap) [ATTACH=full]471295[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]471296[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
