<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3552293, member: 101855&quot;]Bright and shiny silver coins sometimes sell better to the uninitiated collectors who think that, somehow, a coin that is now over 100 years old could have existed without getting any tarnish or toning on it. Or, maybe they were not thinking at all and were attracted to the brightness.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t think that the coin was quite Mint State when they messed with it, but it was close to having a full head. It is possible for an AU-58 or maybe even an AU-55 to have a full head, BTW, and the grading services have long ago acknowledged that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like the Peace Dollars, Standing Liberty Quarters almost never have &quot;monster toning&quot; unless it came from a bottle, fry pan or sulfur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
