<p>[QUOTE="1865King, post: 6570101, member: 103207"]It's actually not die wear. If you saw it in hand you would understand. John Milton's and mine appear never to have messed with. The proof Walkers with toning like ours actually tells you they are original. Mine in hand is amazing the way light reflects off it's surface. The same with proof Mercury dimes. I have a proof Mercury dime that looks like my Walker. They seem to develop a green yellow tone. I suspect it has to do with how they packaged at the mint and if they remained in that packaging. I found that those coins from this time period if blast white were dipped. Avoid blast white proof coins from this time period I've seen some develop ugly toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
