<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1212894, member: 26302&quot;]I don&#039;t think he was saying that at all. He was actually showing them as NT blue. BTW, notice all of these are proofs, which do have a higher tendency to blue than business strikes for some reason. The ones you and Gbroke posted also aren&#039;t that total blue the OP posted.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still stand by my statement that even blue toning on a coin, especially a business strike, is an indicator of chemical application. No one can prove what happened to these coins, but since this is very reproducible I think a collector is silly to discount the notion. Because of this I assume a coin like the OP is such unless I can see differently. Leadfoot, your coin is a proof, show signs especially on the obverse of progression, and is mint state, so I would be much more open to yours being NT. Compare that to the OP coin, circulated, business strike, and no signs of progression. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I didn&#039;t explain very well the first time, but that is what my thought pattern would be, and many other collectors I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
