    That black crap is toning and acetone will not touch it. Leave it just as it is and enjoy!

    Yep the black is critical toning of the unprotected surfaces. I would think the coin was sitting on another coin or surface.

    The 1901-S is really a tough coin in BU, but its price has actually been decreasing over the past 10 years. I own a blazing MS64 that I've tried once for MS65, and might try again at some point. Nice job on the "freebie"!

    Do you know where or what they were stored in to give them this kind of toning?
    Does the entire lot have this patina?

    Looks like a fun find . . . congrats ! ! !

    Excuse me for being critical but I have never personally considered toning critical. Other than that I agree with you that when coins are in a bag they typical come in contact with each other image
