I am attaching a picture of a 1927-D I was looking at. I am a little suspicious of the coloring though because the rims look like they have almost a pure red color and inside the obverse rims on the left and right the red tint appears to have almost peeled away, like the coin was coated. I am just being cautious here but would appreciate hearing opinions on whether this could occur naturally or whether the Doctor is in. Thanks.
Could be a number of things. Maybe it was toning from an old album. Sometimes you can see a "bleeding" effect that takes place over a number of years when coins are left in an album and temperature/humidity changes take their toll. Color...even with color corrected lighting is tough to determine because camera's can take good pictures, but they do not discriminate color properly like those color measuring devices you see at Home Depot or auto body shops. Strike looks nice...very little marks and/or blemishes. Ear has nice details. Nice find especially when a MS65RD is listed over $1500.
