<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2436035, member: 1892&quot;]Yes, y&#039;all are both (rzage also, who apparently doesn&#039;t listen when I make posts like this one, which are quite regular) quite possibly right....and that&#039;s when you go back to my original comment about drawing too complete a conclusion from questionable images. I&#039;m very much bothered by what look like very abrupt transitions from Mint State luster to complete lack of shine in places, and far from confident that what I&#039;m seeing is an accurate representation of the in-hand coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s wear, does that mean it circulated <b>after</b> it toned? And if it did, why isn&#039;t any of the patina - which ought to wear off within seconds of handling - worn off anywhere else? And why isn&#039;t it also worn off of the usual-suspect parts of the obverse?</p><p><br /></p><p>If urging caution about being too positive based on one set of suspect images is &quot;my way or the highway,&quot; it probably <b>should</b> be my way or the highway. But you guys just go ahead and be as sure as you want. It&#039;s your money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
