Those look amazing^^ I love them, specially TE ponies

There isn't as big markets for Lanards as MLP so I guess they are only worth as much as somebody is ready to pay..

I don't know the real answer but to me it coud be be fading. If the pony is played and loved very dearly I would think that fading would be caused by fingers rubbing against the pearly coat. But it can also be factor error I don't know but my mind comes first fading though baby sugarberrys explanation makes sense too. Better ask the owner

I don't really see how it could be fading.  The pony is mint, right down to her original curls.  She has not been played with much, if at all.  Fading or rubbing wouldn't explain the perfect lines where the coating stops. 

I also don't keep contact details for people I traded with years ago!

Well like I said I don't know the real answer That was my opinion. That spot would be perfect for fingers if I would have played with that pony^^. I got couple of childhood ponies that I have played and they still are pretty mint condition (as far as you can say mint when the pony is out of its box) so the if she is played or not can be just she was played more carefully, I don't know
Just trying to help by giving another opinion
