How does this type of 'toning' occur?
Wonder if Stefanie will bid on this one image

......there's something special about an unattractive toned ASE.

    Based on the You Tube videos I have seen, I thought the same thing when I first saw the image.

    Why even try to grade a melt value coin?

    I wouldn't pay melt for that messed up coin.

    Either MS65 or MS64 (as it appears to lack luster).
    It's a compelling coin.

    << <i>Now if that were a Morgan ... >>

    LOL! It would be just as ugly but some dealers would call it "original skin". LOL!

    No two ways about it, the coin is unattractive, dull, lifeless and probably a dipped and retoned coin with a little inducement.

    As for "dipping" the piece. I don't think that anybody would really like the results.

    Anyone else notice that the left prominent finger almost looks like Liberty is flipping us off?

    Yes. With a little bit of Photoshop or Paint Help, it can be a reality.
