got this from the end of a keelboat nickel is this actually rainbow toned or just AT? and can anyyone explain how the heck this happened?
anyone know how this coin got toned like it did in about 5 years from minting? or am I over thinking that it's too soon for a coin to tone? and that it's just a freak thing that happens more then I think.
I'm no expert, but it sure looks like that was clearly hit with a blowtorch or something. Seems obvious. Joe
My state quarters in a cardboard album are starting to tone. So I can believe that the nickel is toning.
Could be NT Last year I bought 7 two roll P/D Keelboat boxes. I have kept a few unopened, sold a couple, unopened, open a couple to search. I found what I was told SINTERED coins scattered through three rolls. Not as extreme or focal as yours, but definitely natural in my case as the copper~brown color "wash" as someone called arrived rolled & boxed from the mint.
Nickels can tone fast! While going through change, I keep the AU/BU nickels. Well, I had about 30 and decided to put them in a plastic tube. To fill up the empty space (only 30 nickels) in the tube, I crumpled up some of that yellow legal pad paper and stuffed it in the tube. After about 4 momths all the nickels were starting to turn yellow/golden. Not a pretty tone, I might add! Now, whether this is AT or NT, I will not go there.
probably a combination of exposure to the air/elements and whatever is in the paper they're wrapped in.
anyone know how this happened? and is it considered AT or NT? I think it's NT from the fact I just housed the coin and did nothing to it... and the most important reason I want to know is this would be my 1st toned coin and thus also my 1st NT toned coin it's pretty sweet to look at :hail: I also wonder what this coin could also be worth? whether it's common or a one of a kind
