Would consider this pretty toning??

Meow has found a very dark quarter CRH the other day. Meow was going let it loose back to the wild before looking at it very closely. Upon close inspection Meow find the toning actually to be quite pretty. It is toned in several colors, and Meow can describe it best as kind of Panzer camouflage. All it needs it a bit of Zimmerit, and it would be good to go.

IMO it looks more like corrosion.

 

Well is not all toning a form of corrosion? This quarter is not deeply pitted at all, it feels relatively smooth. It also looks as if its in AU condition. So with all that, Meow thought it was a pretty cool coin. Ever see a custom car made with a patina finish? Meow feels its kind like that. It has flecks of yellow, green, and brown. Exactly what Meow would think would look natural on a Konigstiger.

 

Meow thinks it would blend in perfectly. Well, maybe not in the snow.

 

Then Meow camouflaged that quarter like they do to the Konigstigers. Or it was used as target practice for mini paint ball guns. lol

 

I think our grading system should be revised for all non-silver coins dated 1965 or later. As the grade progresses downward from MS to AU to EF to F, etc. we should reduce the value from face amount. For example, a fugly quarter such as this should be worth in the neighborhood of 22c as a "collector's coin". Granted, it would still have a spendable value of 25c in everyday commerce, but that's as good as it will get.

It looks like it spent some in meow's litter box

 

ugh, tell meow to let up

 

Meow.... well, I am looking forward to seeing your coin after you treat it with whatever you are going to use. Please post 'after' photos so we can see the reveal.

 

All toning is ugly IMHO.
unless it's on tanks.
I like tanks.

If you shoot a coin with a tank cannon, and post it here. Would ppl identify it as a mint error or PMD (Panzer Munitions Damage)?


What if you sang to a coin with a canon ?

 

Meow likes to think of Meowself as a little Konigstiger rather than a House Cat. Meow is already got the orange part down, the stripes not so much. As Meow is fierce!

 

Meow loves it the way it is! It is already in a coin flip waiting to added to the Cat hoard!

 

So Cats aren't so bad after all.

 

That's not even toning it is just environmental damage spend it.

 

They're somewhere between slugs and snakes.

looks like environmental damage, but if you like it keep it. Interesting tank camouflage.

 

I really don't care for it. Looks like it was in the ground for quite some time.

 

It is not pitted as it looks. It feels fairly smooth, the camo color not at all crusty.

 

It looks like a petri dish after someone sneezed on it
