[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1262450, member: 22585"]Since you said it was ok, I will post your response. I think it's a benefit to collectors to hear the opinions. From tonedcoins: [I]First of let me start that it is only my opinion from collecting and seen so many coins as such. Second, if you like the coin, keep it and enjoy it, that's all that matters at the end. My opinion is, towards this quarter that sulfur compounds grant more natural hues, but the colors tend not to blend well. The layout of the colors on this particular coin do not lay correctly. The colors just run on top of the devices. To me, that is one of the first things I look at when purchasing a coin, whether it's graded or not (this is where the term "buy the coin not the slab" comes into play). If you look closely (for example) at the date area. The blue/green on the beginning of the rim and pink/purple running towards the top of the coin, it goes and travels on top of the date and or higher fields. This IMO is typical of chemical alteration and I have seen many like these before. The toning is also too perfect and natural toning has a more broken color pattern within. But, like I said before, if you like the coin, keep it and enjoy it. That is what makes the hobby fun. Rigo[/I][/QUOTE]
