<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 622057, member: 15199&quot;]Actually I don&#039;t think it is ugly. Perhaps there are a few spots that have gone from the russet color to dark gray or black and might have some hidden damage, but overall, it is much better to me than a similar coin dipped to gun metal gray. I would grade it in the VF range, and none of us can see through the toning to see if any surface damage is there. I have only seen a few mm removal jobs, and one was a 1928-S ==&gt; 1928, and the toning seemed to outline it more than cover it, and I thought it was because of the &quot;strike&nbsp; hardening&quot; effect of the mintmark. Since we are guessing, I would say 1928 VF, possible surface damage under the toning. I would like it myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
