    Nice toning on that bottom one. BUT, grading - as far as I know - doesn't factor in toning. Look at that coin and you can see quite a bit of wear on the high points. THAT is what matters when coming up with a grade. Just my 2 cents.

    Toning is nice but it adds nothing to the grade. You'll just have to get out the loop and check for bag marks, wear, a strong or weak strike and Mint luster. Very nice roll but common.

    Toning is part of eye appeal, eye appeal is part of grading. Ugly toning lowers/limits the grade, beautiful toning can give some bump.

    I prefer the dark brown ones that look like chocolate candies!

    Yes but eye appeal is subject to opinion.

    Grading is subject to opinion. Eye appeal is part of grading based off of standards that most people are attracted to
