Looks like a standard target toned album coin to me, maybe one that was inserted at an angle. I say NT.
Seems natural. Artificial toning would usually be very flashy and noticeable- on your coin you have a light, subtle color.
Natural toning but ...those carbon spots, and here's the sad part they get worse.. I had a beautiful buffalo that was sent to pcgs graded and after a few years the spots started..... and nothing removes them. Shame pretty coin otherwise.
High end 65 or low end 66, and although the toning is beautiful, I think the spotting holds it back from a star. Depending on in hand luster , I could go either way. From the photo I’m leaning toward MS66.
People were right on—65 to 66, with natural album toning. Carbon spots, but not as intrusive as one would think, in hand. Got it for the toning.
I didn’t. Picture lighting makes it look far worse than they are. Then, be glad you did not buy the coin.
Yeah I kept it as an example , in life there are something's you can control, others not.....like I said I've had Buffalos in 64 and 65 nice coins developed spots in a holder. Now I do love the woodie buffalos...and others find them distracting .to each their own...and yeah I have and will purchased problem coins if they fit my criteria.
Yeah, got this coin, knowing it had the carbon spots. It was a sure 66+, and a star, were it not for those spots. They are tiny now, and I hope they don’t grow.
It's a sweet coin and wish you good luck...as again been there and done that...I've never seen anything before like that proof...I almost wish I did have two to experiment on....but my understanding you can soak them the spots get lighter, a tad bit browned in color....but since it coming from inside out ...it will never stop....well I guess depending the amount of what ever causes this to run out,dry up whatever...lol I was asked if I used a Sharpie on the coin by someone....
