The basic question was what can deduce from what we can see about how it got to be that way ? </p><p><br /></p><p>I think a few members hit on the idea when they suggested one side of the coin being treated with coin dip while the other side was not. The point that was not expressed however, but I think it was thought of, is that the 3rd side, the edge, suffered the consequences of that treatment resulting in its appearance. For what it&#039;s worth I was thinking along the same lines. The only part left open to question was the method used to apply the coin dip.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now like the old saying, 2 sides of the same coin. One side of the coin would be having color/toning removed from a toned coin, and the other side of the coin would be having color/toning color applied to a white coin. Either one could result in what we see in that picture. Insider was able to tell us which one it was, but only because he had the advantage of examining the entire coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question that still remains is what was the method of application ? Seeing the edge tells me it could not have been trying to dip one side of the only into a shallow bowl of coin dip, and the same thinking tells me it could not have been done that way with toning chemicals in the bowl either. Which kind of leaves us with the chemicals having been applied one way or another to only 1 side of the coin and small amount of those chemicals running partially down over the edge. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to say is that those who expressed the idea of coin having had coin dip painted on, brushed on, maybe even wiped on, on only 1 side of the coin had the right idea. Only it wasn&#039;t coin dip being applied, it was toning chemicals. Like I said, 2 sides of the same coin, or if you prefer two sides of the same idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, trust your eyes and your thinking when only 1 thing seems to make sense. But don&#039;t forget to think outside the box while you&#039;re thinking. Because even though you&#039;ve got <u>how</u> it happened right, you might not have <u>why</u> it happened right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
