Message:: [QUOTE="cesariojpn, post: 376553, member: 11408"]Don't jump to conclusions, thats how wars and disputes start. While I like toning, I can't see how the coin got it's grade. It looks like unattractive and gross, like a PVC stain (especially the back). The toning is very uneven. For example, the obverse has some questionable areas, including the "Red Eye," the speckled toning behind the head and the....man, I can't describe the look in the focal area in front of the face. It's completely uneven between those two areas. Look at the lettering as well. You can see areas where the toning has not completely covered the lettering.  The back is far worse. The one half (with the 1/4 value)  is much darker and much more uneven than the D section. In fact, notice how the toning doesn't seem to "cut" the coin in half well. It looks like it intersects between 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock vs. 12 to 6 o'clock halving or 3 to 9 o'clock halving.  In fact, that halving only adds to the detrimental negativity of the toning. It's not "natural," it just abruptly stops and it shows.  Also the colors of the toning is completely off. Instead of some uniformity, it's like some silver-plated stuff I have: all random and blotchy. Plus some of the colors are turn-offs. Again, I find your disparaging remarks to be patently offensive and boorish.[/QUOTE]
