[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2834632, member: 15929"]Personally, I would NOT submit the coin for restoration as that dark, hideous toning can often times cover up a whole lot of undesirable flaws. Plus, sometimes, and I mean SOMETIMES, that dark toning goes all the way to the bone! Meaning, regardless of restoration method, some of it will simply NOT go away. Also, I could very well be wrong but I have always assumed that 3rd party grading services do not usually apply designators such as FB, FBL, FH to circulated coins. I'm sure there are some exceptions and their policies might have changed since the last time I checked but my first impression with your coin is that even a mild dipping is going to really highlight the existing wear and could possibly minimize any premium that you have in the coin.
