The somewhat thick toning also tends to impede the appearance of the luster. Has it been dipped in its past? Who knows. All I know is that you can&#039;t tell that with any certainty from the appearance of the coin - it is &quot;original looking,&quot; as the great Mark Feld would say. I have a dozen half dollars with similar appearance that are as original as you&#039;ll ever get.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the scratches to the left of the date, I&#039;m not convinced those aren&#039;t on the slab itself. An in-hand look would quickly clear that up. </p><p><br /></p><p>If that coin isn&#039;t original enough for you, what is?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
