    Awesome - looks right for my type set, which BTW has dropped in the registry.

    Can someone disect the toning on this guy please? I am trying to learn toning characteristics and this is a superb example. What would cause the toning to creep from the periphery as opposed to beautiful rainbows or ugly blotches. Does anybody understand the intricacies of toning origin? If I need to start this thread elsewhere I can. Thanks.

    Wondo,
    this coin has album tone. That's why it's toned on the edge, but still white in the center. While in the album the tone starts from the peripheries, where it meets the cardboard.
    The coin has been lightly dipped at some point, but now the tone is coming back. And might I add coming back REAL pretty.
