[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1419640, member: 26302"]Thanks for the post Paul. The one caveat, (and a small one), would be I would be careful in always condemning a coin with a reverse pattern. This is especially, (mostly actually) true on larger coins. I have seen manila envelope toning be a reverse ring on large silver and coppers due to the envelope not touching the surfaces closest to the edges, but drooping in the centers. I cannot draw what I mean, but the the paper has to rise up from the side, so when it hits the edge it is at an angle and cannot touch the surface there, but of course touches in the middle. The other time I have seen reverse target toning is one sided on a end roll. The edges fold in and sometimes only touch the center of the end coin. These are RARITIES, they are not the common occurence. I am simply relating them in case someone comes across one. I hate seeing an original coin condemned as much as a bad coin accepted, so I am just relating coins I have taken out of old packaging before there was a real market for toning, so presumably no reason to fake it like this. Btw, really pretty IHC Paul. Is it me or does the 7 look unusual? Maybe its common for that proof date.[/QUOTE]
