<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3384022, member: 15309&quot;]Ok, first things first, that coin will never grade MS66 with those reed marks on the chin.&nbsp; I get that you are excited about your find but you need to be realistic when grading your coins.&nbsp; Ownership usually adds a point, sometimes several.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now onto the toning.&nbsp; Both the color scheme and toning pattern on this coin are highly questionable and would most certainly relegate it to a problem coin if graded.&nbsp; Additionally, the toning is highly unattractive and distracting.&nbsp; The only real salvation for this coin would be to dip it and see if the result could yield an MS63-64 grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please remember that it doesn’t matter if the coin was actually artificially toned or if the toning is the result of improper storage as is the case here, the TPGs won’t have knowledge of previous storage conditions.&nbsp; All they will see is the toning which screams Questionable color.</p><p><br /></p><p>One last thing, this thread is over a decade old.&nbsp; Many times you will find that the people you are asking for help are no longer active members of the forum from a thread this old. You kinda got lucky that I’m still around.&nbsp; It might be better in the future to just start a new thread for questions like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
