[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1262302, member: 26302"]I say NT, looks like original toning to me. Actually it looks very much like "dipping candidates" back in the day. Sorry, but the toning doesn't do anything for me. I saw these dipped by the rolls back when toning, unless really pretty, was undesired. I called it "damp toning" since you usually found evidence of some dampness in the past on the rolls when you were opening them. Not wet, since then the coins would be chalky black and ruined, just a little dampness evident. I opened up lots of rolls like that, not "original" rolls, but stuff put in rolls in the 60's. Just my opinion. Chris Edit: Just to add, not meaning to demean your coin. I like the obverse, but am worried about the flat color in the lower right reverse.
