[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 2035303, member: 29751"]I don't see corrosion, but I see an unattractively toned coin. The coin is 90% silver, and who knows under what conditions it may have been stored for the past 108 years. I think Doug is comparing apples and oranges by posting pictures of clearly polished/cleaned examples. All I see on the bust of the OP-posted coins is satiny "fresh from the mint" luster with 100+ years of toning on top. There are plenty of unattractive properly graded coins in plastic of all flavors. Just because a coin is ugly doesn't mean it isn't properly (technically) graded.[/QUOTE]
