<p>[QUOTE="Tommy Westmoreland, post: 3333342, member: 101034"]Personally I would take a big rubber eraser and see what comes off it. Then one will know if the toning is for real (which I doubt in this case). I know many of you do not clean coins. I have used a rubber eraser for years to remove dead skin and oil from coins. I have one thing to say for those who will not sell you a clean coin (THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING, TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE GRADE). I won't buy a dirty coin as many are posted on Ebay. If a corn is worn, it is worn clean or dirty. I look for deep scratches and pings and dings. When I grade a coin (by Red Book) it will be dog gone close to the truth. Ah, how refressing, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Either way it is a good coin to keep. Keep on tryin', that's the fun in all this.</p><p>The General[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
