I'm usually pretty good at cyphering bad scans on eBay.
Seller had a pict on eBay, looked like this:

Bad pict so I snagged it and did a quick fix; figured it looked like this:

When I got it it looked like this:

The toning is really a non-issue. I bought it because of this; a crack all the way through the planchet.

Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Probably used one of the old scanners that would put a reddish or greenish hue to most silver coins, I used to have one like that about 4-5 years ago.

    Strange how the crack on pics 1 and 2 show through the rim to the edge er vice aversea.Anyway ,your pic
    doesnt show the crack as `complete` like the prior two.
    Same coin I know but,its odd,that 3rd one of yours.
    Also it (your pic) looks like a grayed-out over-dipped quarter with that tell tale yellowing from the dipping.
    Neat planchet error though.
    Did ya see my 1926 S $1 struck on defective planchet?

    The first 2 picts were from a cam and my was a scan. My scanner doesn't pick up depth or get the 3-d effect but rather a 1-dimension focus. The tone is the usual blackish-brown mint set. Strike is so-so. The luster is ok but needs a dip to be seen through the crap tone. I give it a 64. No I didn't see your error $ where's it at?

    The coin is neat, top it off with great eye appeal. Funny how sellers don't exploit how the coin looks more when selling.

    Hey Dog that is a cool crack I have a 1922 peace with a crack that is almost exactly like that and almost in the same place,


    Cam I really like the peace you have also, I have a 1922 peace that has a peice of ferrous metal minted into the coin that you can see in the coin on the reverse,


    What is so cool is I found them both in the same coin shop. image
