Looks like newsprint transfer or bag print toning of some kind on the eagle's breast. Interesting.
I seem to recall someone on these boards with some print toning on a Morgan (I think) last year but you could only make out a few letters and they were reversed on the coin's surface.
Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

I had a Washington Quarter like that, it had been stored in a bank envelope and the coin toned differently under the ink. Picture linked so as not to hijack the thread.
My question for Hayden is: how did you get the light bulb directly over the coin with the camera there too? Or maybe you used one of those refracted-light set-ups with the angled glass? It's a great picture, I'd love to know how you did it.
