<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1787593, member: 36230&quot;]I don&#039;t see anything that automatically makes me question its authenticity, and yes, I do believe it will go into a details/genny slab, but I also don&#039;t like how the coin was photographed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the toning, it is hard for me to get past the other concerns, but from what I can see, I don&#039;t like it as having been a totally natural occurrence. To my eyes at least, it has the look of having had some help somewhere along the way, but this does not mean it was intentionally done. However, there are others here who I would differ to on the technicals of this as I&#039;ve long been one to avoid if I&#039;ve any concerns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I remember correctly, Dave Bowers once wrote (his silver dollar encyclopedia perhaps?) that for some reason I cannot recall, the 26-P usually and naturally toned to a golden color, but please don&#039;t hold me to the date on this one. This again is not to say that a coin without this characteristic is a problem as this is obviously not the case, but do understand that colorful toning on a Peace dollar is almost always looked at as suspect. Not that color cannot or has not occurred on this type, but they are not like and do not tone like Morgans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
