<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 388052, member: 7248&quot;]hi stainless!</p><p>&nbsp; you did not get hurt on the coin and it is a great learning experience w/ little $ invested. you can tell why they would try to darken it as it would hide some of the wear and bagmarks visible on both the obverse and reverse. it is worn but w/ darkening they can try the weak strike morgan effect for pricing.</p><p>&nbsp; this coin cannot in any way be construed as &quot;rainbow&quot;. do a search at some of the auction houses&nbsp; (and other resources) and compare.</p><p>&nbsp;look at the denticles and lack of toning in most of those areas and compare w/ the highly darkened area (other than the odd untoned high hair area on obverse as well).</p><p>&nbsp;notice trhe odd non -coin shaped toning on reverse as well. in my very humble&nbsp; AND UNEXPERT OPINION....i believe the coin has been placed in a material which will oxidize it quickly, rather than old time album toning...(hence, lack of toning in denticles...most album toning began on the rim area and reverse).</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; this is only my very humble opinion and would like for the experts to speak out w/ details. it was worth the $25 in knowledge when used correctly!!!!!</p><p>&nbsp; stick w/ the hobby and ENJOY it. May GOD Bless you and your family.</p><p>&nbsp;sincerely,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
