<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 415736, member: 15309&quot;]Unattractive toning most certainly can negatively affect the market grade of a coin.&nbsp; This usually only happens with dark, mottled, or toning that somehow mutes the luster of the coin.&nbsp; That is not the case for this coin.&nbsp; When I said unusual, I meant it in a good way.&nbsp; The toning patter is unique which is something that toned coin collectors covet.&nbsp; We don&#039;t want anyone else to have a coin that looks like ours.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, the toning on this coin is neutral with respect to grade.&nbsp; Resizing the photo will not help determine luster.&nbsp; As far as the strike and FBL status, well I am not really qualified to give a definitive decision so I will leave that duty to the other board members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
