Here's a pretty 2-sided toner that I recently purchased at a local coin show, for your viewing pleasure. I'm very pleased with both the coin, and how well the digital photos turned out.

Are the scratches on the holder?

turn to over time. For instance, thumbing (oils of the skin) turn yellow/brown over time. Plumbers putty
will turn pink over time but it is done to hide the scuff marks on the cheek usually. Not likely that someone
would use plumbers putty on the entire coin. Weird, sorry for the ramble. Just wondering. It sure does
have KILLER eye appeal to me though! Perhaps I'll head off to Home Depot tomorrow morning and see
what might be available in the plumbing department!

greymars: In reply to your above quoted question, the white lines that you see in the digital image appear under magnification to be untoned lines, but do not seem to be scratches either on the coin surface, or on the plastic holder.
Where the coin does have some light contact mark scratches, they appear to be toned the same color as the surrounding fields.
