<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2953188, member: 15309&quot;]The toning on the trade dollar looks like pretty run of the mill secondary toning and I don&#039;t know what they saw that caused the problem, but you can&#039;t be seriously surprised about the other two coins.&nbsp; The CBH looks extremely hinky, and the Peace Dollar is, well, a peace dollar.&nbsp; Had you showed me the obverse of that Peace Dollar without the reverse, I would have said the toning looks perfectly natural.&nbsp; But once you add a completely untoned reverse to a coin that has extensive album toning on the obverse, the question immediately becomes, &quot;how the heck did that happen?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The point here is that it is dangerous to assume that anecdotal evidence supports a change in grading standards because of the very small sample size.&nbsp; Furthermore, you are submitting coins that are under constant scrutiny for artificial toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
