<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1906081, member: 15309"]While the color schemes on the two coins seems similar, I see some very key differences on this second coin that are NT indicators that are not present on the first coin. First the toning on this coin is much less blue and more intermingled shades of pink and blue which would indicate a gradual toning of the coin over time. Second, there are very few spots on this coin where the toning creeps over relief changes. On the first coin, all of the lettering, numbering, and rims are toned blue. On this coin, IGWT is toned, but the majority of the rims and LIBERTY display a different shade than the surrounding fields of the coin. The date has some areas that are toned and others that are not, which again indicates a gradual growth of the toning layer over a long period of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, this coin could also have been deemed questionable, but I understand why the TPG would make the decision that it is market acceptable. It is certainly less questionable than the 1934 WQ. My problem with this coin is that the toning correspondence is incorrect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
