<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2054630, member: 28107&quot;]Thank you for clarifying what you meant. On at least one of the spots, I see a very slight change in color that looks more like toning to me.&nbsp; When distinguishing between toning, striking issues, and wear/rub, the first two will have full original luster that is unimpaired while the latter will have its luster affected.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the luster has been affected and what you are seeing might be a combination of the toning and very slight striking issues.&nbsp; Assuming that I am correct on the cause, it would not prevent the coin from a high mint state grade.&nbsp; Having owned several early Washington Quarters in MS66-MS67, the coin compares favorably and I see no reason that the coin should not obtain full gem/superb gem status.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
