<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 504886, member: 2972&quot;]Well, that all depends on what feature you are referring to....</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s the area of the &quot;fingerprint&quot; (which frankly looks like a palmprint to me), that&#039;s what caused what you&#039;re seeing.&nbsp; The oils in the fingerprint stop the toning from occuring in these areas (just like oil on copper stops it from toning).</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s the area centrally on the reverse on the eagle that is untoned -- that&#039;s just the way toning happens some time.&nbsp; You see it very frequently on toned Walkers (and also washington quarters and roosevelt dimes) from this period.&nbsp; And while I can&#039;t rule out the possibility of it being toning flaking off, I have examined a number of rolls that haven&#039;t been touched in many, many years with toning that appears to have &quot;flaked off&quot;, but is in fact just the odd way the coin tones....as you don&#039;t find any &quot;flaked toning&quot; in the rolls when they are examined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Make sense?</p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
