[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4728429, member: 10461"]That kind of toning would neither add nor detract value from the coin, in my opinion. It is neutral in terms of eye appeal. Of course that is largely a matter of personal preference, so different folks will have different answers to that question. It's a 1921 Peace, so that's nice. I've seen many 1921 coins with streaky, tobacco-brown toning. At least you don't have that. But of course that only speaks to the eye appeal. Which brings us to your second question. Is that [I]original[/I] or [I]secondary[/I] toning? Did the coin have an old cleaning in the past and subsequently retone... or not? That I am unable to tell from the photos. You can bet that the TPGs would be able to tell, though. Those lighter, drop-like spots out in the field in front of Liberty's face and forehead make me wonder. But otherwise it looks OK to me? Not fantastic, but certainly not bad, either.[/QUOTE]
