<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1907443, member: 19855&quot;]I want to preface my response with: I do not collect toned coins. I too have only 3 slabbed coins and I prefer most of mine raw. However, I think when grading this particular coin they were looking for luster and if it is broken, wear pattern, strike/contact marks, among other things. Overall the coin has beautiful luster and the strike is certainly above average and even received FBL. The toning is natural and overall the coin has clean fields and very few marks, hence the MS 65 grade. I may be wrong, so correct me if I am, but I think you are using tone or &quot;discoloration&quot; as an indication of grade and that is not necessarily the case for all coin series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
