<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 6784870, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s possible, but given that the coin is a commem, I think it unlikely because commems, from that era at least, typically don&#039;t get marked up - and then tone. Typically the toning on modern commems, like what the coin had in your &quot;bought&quot; pics, occurs pretty quickly and the majority of the time while the coins are still in original packaging. And in original packaging the coins usually don&#039;t get marked up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ya see, when marks are hidden under toning those marks had to occur before the toning, otherwise the toning couldn&#039;t cover them up to begin with. When marks occur after toning they are pretty much always visible and often even highlighted because the marks break through the toning showing the lighter color underneath. And that&#039;s not what we see in your &quot;bought&quot; pics - or what you reported seeing in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t base my comment on what I see in the pics, looking at your pics I&#039;m not sure what you&#039;re even calling marks. I based my comment on what you said seeing as how you have the coin in hand - that marks became visible where none were previously visible - and knowing what I just said&nbsp; in the paragraphs above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
