When it is toned, it is usually very dark. Finding a 1955 with attractive, multicolored, rainbow toning, especially with reds or greens, is very difficult. As you can see, the strike on this coin is good, and the color is quite attractive. The only detriment is an ill-placed mark on his cheek, but otherwise flawless surfaces make up for it. For $85, I felt this was a great deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>The toning is subtle and was hard to capture in pictures - I am not happy with these. In hand, pink transitions to blue, greens, yellows, and finally red at the edge. </p><p><br /></p><p>My purpose in this thread was to show that being able to interpret pictures properly, and knowing strike and toning characteristics for the date, will give you a leg up. Even with obviously inferior pictures, I was able to buy an attractive and appealing coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
