Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1262480, member: 26302"]I respect your opinion sir, having followed toning posts back when Lehigh was here also. I also respect your reasoning on this coin. My "problem" is that I simply have seen these too often. If it was almost any other date I would completely agree with you. In the 90's, going through sets brought into coin shops containing just bullion coins, this is what you would see over and over. The first page mainly empty with maybe a 32 plain and a few very worn late 30's. The 40's were mainly vg-f, the 50's were vg-vf toward later dates, and 60 and 61 were AU, and the 62-64's were BU, with the 64's especially usually brilliantly toned, or at least toned. I believe what happened is so many of these sets were put together in these cheap folders containing sulphur in the mid 60's that the BU ones simply toned because of the fresh silver and trace sulphur present. Like I said, make this date 61 and I look at it harder, make it in the 50's and I start doubting much more seriously. Sorry to disagree with you on this point sir, but I just cannot ignore my own personal observations on this date in particular. I have seen toned 40's and 50's quarters, and they usually are splotchier, but it simply seems the 64's toned nice and smooth many times. We can agree to disagree, right? Chris[/QUOTE]
