Post a Toned Coin

Many of the toned clad quarters out there are toned in Dansco albums. Oftentimes they will start with some portion of the coin showing a golden color. Eventually this leads to the entire quarter getting a golden color. From there, starting at the periphery you will get a blue toning. Some quarters will then get rainbow toning along the periphery. The colors will then shift to dark brown, and, while I have not seen it, I would assume they would eventually progress to black, the tertiary color for toning. Needless to say, you can get some mixing of progressions from the above, but the trend is GENERALLY the same.

Real excited about these two, just graded as MS67 RBs, both of them!

I think I'm going to keep the first one, can't wait to see them back in hand.

 

Your "freckles" is PVC contamination. Soak her for an hour in some acetone as soon as possible.

 

Hi, thanks Cascade. That was my initial thought as well and did soak it in acetone when I received it, but not for an hour, but probably 15 minutes and nothing changed. I will redo the acetone for longer and see what happens?

 

Acetone will not hurt, so the longer the better. I soaked a nasty PVC'd morgan over night and it took nearly all of the contamination away.

 

It may take longer and it may already be to late to remove it effectively.

 

New addition to my 1946-64 Roosevelt set.

 

thanks again. I got the acetone out and ready to go, now I just need to dig up the coin from the depths of one of several of my stealth household hiding spots

 

Post an after pic as well! If it's actually PVC on it, then the acetone will take it right off and it's gonna be great again!

 

Dont put it in a plastic container. You never know...

 

Thanks and I hope so too as she's a pretty sweet Peace Dollar minus the PVC!

 

That is a freaking AWESOME 1944 dime up there!

 

Pictures can't do justice to 1. how crazy the toning is on this one it's pretty wild in a good way (to me, probably not for everyone maybe why I got so cheap!) and 2. how much this shines. The luster on the obverse is amazing.

PCGS MS66 1882-S






Also picked up her twin sister this week too for the best price I've ever seen for an NGC/PCGS MS66 Morgan (129 shipped). Will post some pics of that one when I get in hand.

 

A definite fav, 1889-P "Watercolor" Morgan

 

Shame it was cleaned ,actually scrubbed.It would of been a nicely toned Morgan .

 

Slight fail on the obverse photo. This is likely my new Type Set Dime, also acquired in Frankfurt.

1938 D/D

 

If I had a better Barber Half I'd have a pretty good 20th century type set. But of course a job (if there is one out there for a 57yo white man) comes first.
