Just a few pics of a toned Half before I give it a acetone bath
I don't have a good camera and the lighting on the proof is tough
Under the light with a good angle the toning is rose colored
Any suggestions are welcome
Should I send it in for grading?

Thanks

    Based on how the images appear on my monitor, I would not sink the money into that coin to have it graded.

    Absolutely not. It would have to grade PF 69 to get your money out of grading fees etc. This is a 12 dollar coin.



    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    Why the acetone bath?? Is there crud on the surface? Cheers, RickO

    I wouldn't dip it.

    Sell it as is.

    Won't grade very high by the looks of it.

    A toning enthusiast might like it. Hard to tell the colors from your pic.
