I would not keep any of those coins. They should remain in circulation.
They have no Numismatic value. IMO

 

No value. Well actually 1 cent each.

 

Some toned coins can hold a nice value,but only if they are in a high mint state. They are cool to see,but those are not worth anything over face value. Also,toning isn't considered damage on a coin,it can actually give it more of a premium if it is natural and has good eye appeal.

 

really why is that is that not original art work from toning and TIME ?and you said spend it why ..THIS IS VERY MUCH BRILLIANT ORIGINAL NATURAL ART WORK I WOULD NEVER SPEND

 

Thank You but you are definitely wrong when you say NO value but a cent try to buy one of these coins from me for a cent .LAFFIN

 

is that WOMAN WITH AFRO HAIR AND BEARD that was one confused artist fooling everyone.

 

I would not pay you 1 cent for the whole batch. This thread has turned stupid.

 

yeah cause i made you feel stupid i know

 

You are correct. I do feel stupid for even bothering to reply to your foolish post.

 

C'mon...you were doing so much better...

 

Don't feed the

 

IM STANDING BY THESE COINS AS ART ..so why i shoud be the follower I see art in even what you classify as damage

 

THANK YOU ,,but your criticism of these natural art pieces is insulting .Each coin is individual not created the same way. The first coin maybe chemical still a nice pattern and preserved for 1964 and the patterns are great. The second coin 1975 great black an white imagery of Lincoln these are in my opinion one of a kind ART coins now.The 1990 Lincoln cent has a many different images that is the toning. The 1988 coin has tones that changes its appearances the last three pics is the same coin.. the last three coins imagery is created by the toning.

 

I myself happen to keep the toned coins I come across that appeal to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

HI yes I agree...we are not ALL clones.
Thank You

 

Your welcome. But I do have to add one thing just like we have our own opinions about what we like the other members of cointalk are allowed to have their opinions as well and even though our opinions may not be the same all the time we should try our best to accept the other members thoughts and even if we don't like or agree with what they may say in response to something we post we should keep in mind we did ask for people's comments. I did like your post and appreciate everyone's responses even the ones I didn't happen to agree with. Have a great evening everyone. Trying to learn something new every day.

 

If you see them as art, then keep them by all means. Stick them in some AirTite capsules. Those can be cheaply found on eBay.

 

I prefer to get mine in change than from ebay it's cheaper and I prefer to find something I want to keep for myself to be a random find it feels more like a gift from fate making it something I can appreciate having not just something I own because I bought it.
