Artificial toned Franklin Halves

2 more A.T. coins I bought when I first started collecting 16 years ago. at the time I knew the quarter was AT but wanted it anyway. the half I suspected but bought it cheap $30.00 for both. I kept them to remind me what some A.T. coins looked like.
the crazy color quarter obvious A.T. :


and the A.T. Franklin half:

does anyone know if these have any other value than silver value ?

 

It has melt+whatever someone would value artificial toning at.

 

I'll probably just keep them. freaky color on them.

 

The Franklin, oddly enough, seems to have natural (near terminal) toning near the rim, then AT that seems to cover up something.

 

I have paid to learn as well. It hurts a bit but I still binder the coin. Lesson learned for me is go to shows. A coin in your hand is priceless. The only toned coins I have any confidence buying are the ones with evidence of gas bubbles around the date or lettering. And even then this type of toning can be artificially excelled I understand. Beauty is in the eye of me.
