<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1907378, member: 53226&quot;]I have a question: How is this coin considered &quot;mint state&quot; with all the discoloration?&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong, it&#039;s a lovely coin and I&#039;d be proud to own it, but it obviously doesn&#039;t look like it did when it came to a mint.&nbsp; Why is discoloration considered OK but the tiniest bit of wear considered bad?&nbsp; I only own two slabbed coins, a NGC 1958 PF-67 nickel and an ICG 1960 MS-65 large date penny, and both look like they just left the mint.&nbsp; Toning is cool and can make coins look neat, but I don&#039;t see why it isn&#039;t considered a demerit when it comes to the condition of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know much about grading so I hope somebody can enlighten me.&nbsp; I want to be educated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
