is this a example of a bank bag causing a toning effect on a coin?
or is it a palm print?

I'm no expert, but my guess is prints.

That's not bag toning, it's bad toning.

Not bag toning. It looks like it was in an old board or folder that only shows 1 side. Looks to have been subjected to many fingers and other contaminates on the side that was exposed.

I see that toning on NTC slabs all the time....quite fugly. And MS-68? The reverse is killer, but now way that flat strike on the front makes MS-68...maybe 64-65 on a good day.

Not bag toning, very ugly and wouldn't pay that much for it.........

MS68? Yeah, minus four points. That's not bag toning. The best advice I can give you is to not purchase NTC slabs sight unseen, as on eBay.

Those are fingerprints, not textile... THIS is what textile toning looks like:

Definitely not textile toning - palm/finger prints most likely, and as for the toning - it looks more like album toning than bag toning.

Thanks for the info.
Now I know what bag toning would typically look like.
I have no idea how they came up with a MS68 grade on that.

The rev is great looking...the front, as others have said, is not.
That is a thumbprint creating the toning "patterns". (well, actually, thumbprintS).

Don't buy NTC...if you do, do it sightseen, strong return policy, and lower grades.
