<p>[QUOTE="Coinguy56, post: 1190516, member: 27133"]I just took another look at your 1912. It's a good possibility that it could be re-toned from an old dip. It appears to be original though, because a dipped and re-toned coin will have a very bright appearance, but no luster. I still can't confirm that it is indeed an MPL. But there's one good sign; see that gouge above the "I" of IN on the obverse? I believe that is one of the die diagnostics. There's always a chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
