<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3030119, member: 77413&quot;]This is not a perfect 1972-S proof. There are, however, some interesting toning effects. The reverse is almost uniformly toned with a layer of orange that is revealed by where it is missing, at the bottom left corner of the Lincoln Memorial. The obverse shows a yellow-orange toning developing unevenly on the fields, and a deeper orange over Lincoln&#039;s head.</p><p><br /></p><p>The matte finish on Lincoln&#039;s bust is intriguing. It reflects the light so evenly that it does not change its appearance even as the lights are rotated around the coin. I don&#039;t think the detail is all that sharp, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>These photos are very revealing and are good for a clinical analysis. They may make it look worse than it is, though; the coin is pleasantly colored in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]755071[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
