Interesting color on a Morgan

Thoughts on this? Although the picture doesn't quite show it, this coin has the typical blast white semi PL fields.

Let's get some thoughts on this and I'll reveal a bit more later.

    I hate the road rash on her face, but the fields look nice and the color is OK.

    And I don't think that the yellow is unusual at all. I have seen quite a few "lemons".image

    Someone might have tried to dip it in Proactive Solution to clear her face up.

    smoething about that color wants me to say "backwards" but I don't know why.

    Fields almost look too clean for how rough the cheek is. Altered Surfaces?

    I did smooth out the fields, I was more concerned about the color than condition. Certainly not trying to "enhance" the grade. The color is just about the same as Meltdown's coin. It came back from our host graded MS63.

    Have you ever photographed a coin that looked great in hand, but the camera takes every minor tick and makes it look like the Grand Canyon? This was one of those...

    OK. Now you have to tell us how you "smoothed out the fields".

    If those of you asking about the editing can't see the photoshopped effect in the fields, you're in trouble.image

    Now that you mention it I see it but I wouldn't have spotted it before.
