You've got to be kidding. You haven't seen very many toned proof franklins then eh? That is the right color for them. I have submitted hundreds that look very similar to Robec's coin. >>
heh, not sure if that comment strengthens the argument that the toning is natural. Hundreds, you say, and they look very similar to that?
As I recall, it was a Cheerios Sacagawea dollar for $4,000 in the original package. It was not a steal at the time. It was a second chance offer because the winner of the auction "cancelled out". It was a "shot in the dark" and there was a great debate here about whether it was a variety or a pattern, at that time. I don't know who won the debate. It didn't matter. The ORIGINAL design is awesome. And it's always amazed how some guys never forget what they see on a coin. Re: TDN... I practice trying to remember every detail of "coins". It's an obsession. Even as I sent the coin in intitially to PCGS, I remember thinking : "It will never grade higher than 67 because of that little "hit" on the reverse. It graded MS 68 and the rest is history. It is on COINFACTS.
