<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2460269, member: 1892&quot;]It does, actually - this coin should <b>not</b> be &quot;richly lustrous&quot; at that level of wear and the toning could not possibly be more than, say, fifty years old. It would have progressed far further (we know the exact physical progression of silver sulfate toning) in three centuries unless extraordinary circumstances of storage intervened. I&#039;m not willing to believe that coin survived the Industrial Revolution both <b>circulated</b> and untoned. Perhaps a Mint State piece ensconced in a formal collection, but not this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
