<p>[QUOTE=&quot;heavycam.monstervam, post: 2117632, member: 73448&quot;]I guess my rebuttal would be #1 that the photo was done in direct sunlight on my car trunk. From my experience mirrored surface OR proof coins come with splotchy toning such as this, depending series and storage. Think brown box ikes.This particular coin is actually a late die state that has been agressively worked over by a mint employee.&nbsp; Its probably the worst early S mint ive seen,&nbsp; Its pitted and the letters are mushy, not even close to sharp 90° angles that are usually. seen. There is&nbsp; die polish/adjustment over 90% of the coin w heavy striations in&nbsp; the&nbsp; fields and polishing lines thru the hair cheek, ear, eye, eagles wings, breast, feathers, void behind neck, wreath,and denticles. In my experience w these types of coins. The key is to find lines that run THRU or UNDERNEATH the letters and continue out the other side. This coin has picked up quite a few bag marks/rub along its journey. I believe that is what you were seeing in the photo:areas with rub, but from other coins, not from a coin doctor. And my images made it an optical contusion. Heres another: [ATTACH=full]401133[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
