<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 671690, member: 112&quot;]Looks like the real deal to me. Although I am a bit surprised in that the coin was slabbed for it looks like somebody tried to remove some of the toning before the coin was slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, many do look like that. It is somewhat typical for original mint set toning. And it is not unusual at all to see grades of 65 for coins with that look. I have seen more than a few graded as 66 &amp; 67 even. This is because as long as the coin meets the criteria for the grade in regard to marks, luster, and quality of strike - eye appeal will not hold it back from the receiving the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say though, if the same coin had more attractive toning it would likely grade even higher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
