Other then the ungodly cheek ding I kind of dig the toning on this. Of course I got a decent chunk knocked off the initial price for it. Ugly or not ugly?

    Could possibly be Redfield Hoard and/or Paramount cardboard holder toning?

    Looks more like album toning than folder toning.
    I've unplugged many coins from folders, and generally see more uniform toning, rather
    than concentric toning, on the obverse, and blotchy nasty looking toning on the reverse.

    Not ugly in anyway, shape of form. Very pretty toning. Plus you can see the ‘pull away’ toning
    as you imaged. That is the metal flow and toned over the years from being in the album.

    It could just be lighting, but I'm seeing green spots on the obverse near the "R" in E PLURIBUS, near the first 8 in the date, and again on the reverse near the R in DOLLAR... is this cause for concern??
