[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8113835, member: 13307"]All great responses so far. The correct grade has been guessed, but I'll give it until tomorrow in case anyone else would like to throw their hat in the ring. Having the coin in hand, the obverse is definitely NOT PL; the reverse, probably yes. The toning, like [USER=9270]@kanga[/USER] said, is not what I'd consider "plus" toning - but it is definitely interesting in its own way (and not "negative" toning.) The most difficult part of grading coins comes when I compare the coin I have in hand to images of already slabbed coins - I see some coins at a grade above this one that mine compares favorably to, but I also see some that are much, much nicer. I also see some coins in the same grade as mine that are much, much uglier...but some that are similar.
