<< <i>interesting toning pattern obverse vs reverse...is the reverse rotated at all? >>
Very well could be, I don't have the coin back in hand yet and can't quite remember. A 10-15% rotation would line up the obv/rev progression quite nicely. I also believe this coin to have secondary album storage toning. Althought the pic doesn't display it very well the coin has correct geometric pull away at all the right side stars and date, and to a lesser degree on the left side, the reverse toning also has pull away. Interesting to speculate on how the toning may have formed but no one will really know.

I really like the orange obverse.
