Actually this would indicate worn out dies, not new dies. New Proof dies would result in coins with a strong mirror finish and a cameo effect on...
Completely agree, at least when it comes to the technical aspects of toning - the hows and whys of it, or most of them anyway. But when you read...
Yes, sometimes greatly so.
It's not anymore. Just an oooops by the OP.
The one thing that Tom didn't mention ( he kinda did in a way) is that the Grey Sheet list prices for sight seen coins; and the Blue Sheet list...
No, acetone will not remove toning. The things that remove toning are commercial coin dips. And all coin dips contain acid.
As I said in post #4 of this thread, there are a thousand variables that play a part in how a coin tones. It is the combination of specific groups...

Good luck with that. All coins tone Dj, all of them. But very few of them acquire that colorful and attractive toning that most seek out. And...
LOL ! No, it was actually even in this century :D But therein lies the problem does it not ? For who is it that makes the decisions ? :rolleyes:

It's much easier to avoid it by storing them properly to begin with. Then you don't have to worry about it ;) Dj, I'm assuming that your entire...
This thread raises a few questions for me. First and foremost, are you guys blind ? We have 4 coins that circulate - cents, nickels, dimes and...
The haze you talk about is common on Proof Sets, but I've never seen it on Mint Sets. So I assume it is Proof Sets that you are talking about....
If that coin was submitted to a TPG I would be very, very, surprised if it was not returned in a Genuine or a Details slab because of all the...
Well that depends, but you can bet that most of them will be dark grey with some being black. Depending on how long you leave them in those...
Yeah I'll do that Thad - just about the same time that you start saying that you conserved your house, conserved your car, conserved the garage,...
Aww c'mon now, yesterday he agreed with me in another post. So it aint like it's never happened :D
Just be prepared when most of the coins end up being toned in a way that you don't like.
Go sit down first Frank, wouldn't want you to bump your head when you fall over. I agree ! :D
