<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 504536, member: 15309&quot;]Ruben, </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope the resident metallurgist means me.&nbsp; I have to agree with Doug on this one, this toning pattern and color scheme are quite common on mid 20th century silver coins.&nbsp; The traditional toning progression is yellow-magenta-cyan.&nbsp; Orange is in between yellow and magenta.&nbsp; You can find this coloration on just about every series.&nbsp; I see it on Washington Quarters, Roosevelt Dimes, and early commemoratives very frequently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the TPG&#039;s forgive fingerprints as long as they are not too distracting.&nbsp; In this case, it would be treated the same as mottled toning which would not affect the grade of the coin detrimentally.&nbsp; Personally, I don&#039;t really like this coin and would not buy it, but to each their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
