[QUOTE="CircCam, post: 8472776, member: 85675"]Mint set toning is definitely not for everyone- I’m ok with this coin at 67 as the reverse surfaces still look nice but I’m into that crusty stuff. 62 feels better considering the dip and retoning but she’s still tolerable at least. :) *pulls out I HATE CAC portfolio and throws another rusty dagger into John Albanese oil portrait* Haha. Jokes aside, these are some scary examples and thanks for sharing. Poster child for why dipping is sometimes the right thing to do. Glad that turned out well, Randy! That was an odd coin, a hammered strike would have at least helped make some level of sense of the grade but it didn’t have one of those either. I like this look on Jefferson Nickels, reminds me of old stuff I used to find in my grandma’s basement. Though that look is probably not what most people are looking for in their gem coins.
