Just got the grade on this Monster!

2nd MS 67* I made at NGC in a months time

Nice quarter!

I have a really nice 1918 Lincoln that is blue. I will post a pic once I learn how.

:hammer:

 

:bigeyes: WOW! :bigeyes:
That about sums it up!

 

That's quite a quarter!

I wonder how it toned that way. That's not a typical look for the mint sets of that year, IIRC. Any ideas?

 

Great quarter! WOW!

Here's another Lincoln

 

This is a perfect thread for my first post Ive got lots more toners too

 

Not much value but it is beautiful...

 

Wow, beautiful coins, makes me want some, natural toners.

Thanks. I had a whole thread going here (unfortunately) about acquiring it. Lets just say, it wasn't the best deal I ever got but I loved the coin and couldn't leave it.

The toning right above the leading edge is a little darker in hand than shows up in the pic. The reverse has a nice, light golden tone to it.

 

A few for you

Here's a few. I don't post a lot of toners. I have been trying to pick them up when I see them, but don't selectively buy them like Lehigh.

 

Morgans

A few more.

 

Is that 1884 naturally toned or the other? What is the best give-away that a coin is artificially toned?

 

I'm no expert on these but I think color pattern, or unnaturally bright colors. After you look at so many of them, you get used to what's 'normal'. Then you'll see one that just doesn't look right and most likely it's AT. Some, I can't tell. Some are unique.
Some coins in general seem to not have had a tendency to tone. For example, a lot Morgans were stored in canvas bags for decades so there's a lot of toned examples.
Peace dollars on the other hand, are almost never found with toning. Any toned Peace dollar would be suspect to me. The one shown earlier in this thread was likely AT. As someone mentioned, there was an evident cleaning underneath. Then AT'd to cover it up.

Another example is the Ike in this thread with the purple ring around the edge. You almost never see those toned. And there's a guy on ebay selling gobs of coins, (Morgans, Franklin halves, Walkers, quarters, etc...) which all have the same, exact purple ring around the edge, front and back. This seems to be a common AT these days. People buy them up.

On some loose coins, if it looks burnt, supposedly they will smell burnt, if they were heated.

 

Oh yeah, if it makes it into a TPG slab, the chances are very good that it's natural toning. I've heard that if they can't tell or there's any question that it may be altered, AT, they won't slab them.
