<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2437515, member: 71338"]Just out of curiosity, could a coin be artificially toned so that it looks dark like that? I ask because it's possible it was wire brushed harshly on obverse, then possibly darkened up to hide it. I see some cleaning/abrasion glimmering through on the obverse, so I don't think we can rule out harsh cleaning from just one picture. Yes it's low grade and some of us are being supercritical, but it's also a coveted CC coin and may have been touched up to cover up something more unsightly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
