    Hello SS,

    I want to ask a second opinion on my recent kooks bought on this forum.

    I bought 5 of them and managed to return two because the condition was poor. The reminder coins I thought that they were okay and had mild toning, but I was told that the color looked discoloured somehow, see pics :|

    Can you give me your opinion? is this normal toning for 2003 kooks? what actually happening here? were the coins being 'cleaned' ?


    Thanks,

    LD


    COIN 1
    on the right side of the kook

    Ill back BB up on this, was a nicely toned coin that someone has attempted to "make shiny" and ruined a perfectly collectable kook.. should trade a few bucks less IMO as not wanted by a serious collector
