I seriously doubt someone retoned that coin blue to try to pass off a high value toning. I have seen these coins just like this for over 30 years, back when that toning was a deduction from price versus white. Maybe Doug or someone here has more experience with these. Btw none of this lowers my appreciation of your coin man, really cool coin. Even if it is an old cleaning, this is very common on these coins.[/QUOTE]
