    I purchased a roll of full date circ. buffalo nickels for the fun of it. In the roll I came across a nicely toned Buffalo. Here are some pics. The pictures arent the best, because it doesnt show all the color of the tone. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Sorry, that does not look like natural toning on that coin, but rather, toning that is the result of a cleaning.

    Thanks. What are the signs that it is artificial toning from cleaning, for my future reference. Also the toning is pretty much around the whole coin, even though its not all visible in the picture. The only thing that had me thinking that maybe it was natural was that there was another nickel in the roll that was dirty but had slight toning on its surface that looked similar in color to the coin I have in the picture.
