Lincoln help

Postby rsk1963 » Thu May 03, 2012 10:48 pm

I got a 1962 D Abe today that has some monster toning, I mean insane good. My question is how do I identify actual toning vs "enhanced" toning. The toning seems to be uniform up and down, i.e. all the nooks and crannies.

IMO it grades at a MS 65 (if toning is real), better fields than the morgan I recently asked about by miles.

The equipment that I have cannot do this thing justice by miles so I will try and find a camera that gets a better resolution.

Thanks for any help

Real toning will vary with height.
