<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1511154, member: 15309&quot;]I am unwilling to call the coin artificially toned from that photograph.&nbsp; While the photo leads us to believe it might be questionably toned, I would much rather see a clear photo taken in proper lighting at a less extreme angle.&nbsp; The color progressions on the obverse seem to be consistent with target toning that forms on an album coin.&nbsp; The problem is that the reverse shows almost no toning whatsoever.&nbsp; If the coin were truly and album toner, we would expect to see concentric target toning on both sides of the coin.&nbsp; Having said that, it is possible that someone removed the obverse slide which accelerated the obverse toning.&nbsp; If I had to make a determination based solely on that photo, I would say that it is not market acceptable and I doubt that it would grade at either PCGS or NGC.&nbsp; Still, the coin is very attractive and I would be willing to pay a small premium, maybe 1.5X price guide for the appropriate grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
