<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 540987, member: 15199&quot;]Catbert,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The most obvious similarity I see between the 2 photos is the die crack/scratch that appears to the right of the 1 in the date. Since I doubt there were many different obv dies, it maybe is apparent in all of these coins. Also in deference, there is a &quot;disturbance&quot; or mark between the 9th and 10th star that is not on the non-toned coin. There is a mark on the eagles upper right wing of the non-toned, that doesn&#039;t stand out in the toned one.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If it is the same coin, it would have had to been dipped before it was artificially or naturally toned, as the toned areas around the stars and devices have been eliminated in the toned coin&nbsp; photo. Since the photos probably&nbsp; haven&#039;t been around long enough for NT, one is left with the choice of AT if the same coin or they are different coins. If we had very very large photos, maybe we could look at the areas closer. As it is, I have doubts it is the same coin. If it is, I am pretty sure it was dipped before AT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
