Since my coins visit to CGS , it has been toning very well, and its locked in a safe in the dark (but nice and warm as its the server room)
@Sword My coin has the same toning as the top part of yours, was it all that that to start with ?
It was rejected because of toning (Reject: Re-Toned) which I think they mean was cleaned at some time.
It did come back with two extra scratches which I was taking them to court about, but they closed the company just before court case date
Was this the highest grade given to a coin by CGS ?

Does anyone know the names of any of the coin graders at CGS - LCGS (looks like they have not changed)
As management at LCGS refuse to reply to any emails, I thought I would try to talk to a grader
I thought a DIPPED coin would not have Full Lustre, as the lustre would be removed during the dipping
Just my thoughts...
Looking on Ebay at Victorian silver, it seems that most are dipped
