<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 1603585, member: 16402"]EOR was my first thought too. To me it looks like the obverse was thumbed (in the holder/roll) prior to the toning. If someone had rubbed/handled the coin in that fashion it would explain why the high-points of the device and the center of the fields didn't tone like the rest of the obv. Also, it explains why the toning continued in the recessed sections of the obverse device, because those sections wouldn't have been reached by light handling/rubbing. That mark at the base of Liberty's neck also looks like a small section of fingerprint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting coin, Detecto are you going to be bidding on it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
