<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 552061, member: 15199&quot;]The areas that catch my eye on the obverse are the circular halo areas around the stars. Usually with true toning, the lighter areas are shaped like the stars, not circular. The date and some internal parts of letters, and the hair curls&nbsp; look off also. On the reverse, the letters at the bottom look Ok to me, but the letters at the top and surrounding letters there look unusual. A lot of halo areas around the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, that said , I do not know what they actually saw. there could be small circular spots of no toning in the area where an artificial treatment couldn&#039;t get past a speck of dust, etc. Or maybe the toning didn&#039;t&nbsp; look like the others of this year they have seen. I think it is a guessing game a lot of the time. It appears that any heavy or unusual toning has an uphill fight. This could be a NT coin that had unusual storage conditions.&nbsp; JMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
