Thread: toned penny

hey all, was hoping you guys could help with a grade and a price. i got these from penny rolls so i wont be hurt much if only worth face value haha

AU50 on the top obverse and EF40 on the bottom obverse. Since I like the top obverse better I'd be willing to offer double your investment in it.

Oh, and never forget. When posting pictures requesting grades, there are two sides to every coin.

ahh yes! sorry, that would probably help out. but in all seriousness, will there every be any value in these coins?

Really, someone has to really like them a lot. I do like that top one, though, I wasn't kidding about that. I know we'd keep it if we found it. Beyond that, not much else to tell, really. Sorry 'bout that.

It depends what you mean my value. I pull aside toned circulated cents and put them in a book. When im done it wont be worth much, and it didnt cost much, but I enjoy doing it. That is value to me.

thanks for the input folks...i have been keeping all 95%'s i come across at work, and i have a boat load of toned coins so i figured they were only worth their copper weight

I think the top will go unc - MS-63 likely if the reverse matches the obverse.
The 79 probably AU, but might be XF.

I have a toned wheatie that I always questioned whether it was artificially or naturally toned. Thoughts?

that looks AT all the way. that is a pretty common color progression for an AT coin

Thanks for the quick answer! I kinda figured AT just saw this thread and thought it be a perfect place to confirm it.

I love toned coins and have a penny size holder for a necklace. I get alot of comments and those I see often ask to see the cent I wear that day coz I change it out. I wouldn't do this to a coin that was of any value.
