<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3211256, member: 15309&quot;]You just made that up, didn&#039;t you?&nbsp; Originality bump?&nbsp; In all my years collecting coins, I have never heard anyone say that.&nbsp; Listen, just because the TPGs net grade coins that have been dipped and don&#039;t have original surfaces, that does not mean they give bumps for original surfaces.&nbsp; The coin in question has dark unattractive toning that is approaching terminal, you even said as much.&nbsp; TPGs don&#039;t reward coins with unattractive toning, they do that for toning that provides the coin with exceptional eye appeal.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And I don&#039;t know what photo you are looking at, but nothing about that photo says &quot;lustrous&quot; to me.&nbsp; That coin is an absolute dog, it doesn&#039;t have gem surfaces, gem luster, gem strike, and certainly doesn&#039;t have gem eye appeal.&nbsp; Honestly, the coin belongs in a details holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your comment about how to see marks covered by toning, either divulge it or admit you are blowing smoke.&nbsp; And this better not be the method of using photoshop to turn the photo from color to black &amp; white.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
