<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2281590, member: 26302&quot;]I agree, but in my experience once its AU50 or lower, its always a dark outline. Why? Because the outlines still have luster and it tones. The fields and higher relief has its luster broken and it gets that gun metal toning. However, if you clean such a coin, the dark bands of toning lose their toning and go back to being lighter. Hence, I agree with others that this coin was cleaned, (most likely dipped), in the past. That is why it has a funky toning on a circulated coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
