<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 475881, member: 12789"]Thank you. You furthered my argument of buying the coin, and NOT the TPG assigned grade on the holder. Plastic coffins are cute. Well some people think so anyway. They do nothing for me. That said, I own numerous coins in coffins. But the grades on them do diddly squat for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was one of the two, GD being the other that downgraded this coin to 55. I will admit, I am not a particular fan of toning. Perhaps it is because I collect more European wise, and prefer nice original coins as they were struck. Admittedly this coin is perplexing to me with the toning. The pattern of the toning is indeed unique, but all the while the colours suggest AT to my distaste. However I do find differences betwixt this piece and pieces obviously AT because of the pattern of the toning which suggests more might be up with the composition of the coin as a factor in how it toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
