<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 618439, member: 9474&quot;]Many times when I see ikes like this, they have usually been cleaned/dipped and the residue that is left behind from the chemical usually contributes to the toning of the coin.&nbsp; What tips this off to me that this possibly could be the result of some kind of residue is look at the reverse of the IKE.&nbsp; See how the coloring is kinda blochy in areas?&nbsp; I have a set of IKEs in PCGS slabs that are exhibiting this type of pattern.&nbsp; Unfortuatately, my toning is extremely ugly and I am quite upset.&nbsp; I called PCGS to see what their response was and what I wrote above was one of the possible reasons they gave me for this.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although I don&#039;t collect toned coins, I think this Ike looks very nice.&nbsp; Whether or not it was NT or AT, the coin is still very nice looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
