I use white all the time. I think it makes you focus more on the coin itself. The black gives a border that distracts me.
It depends solely on storage conditions. However, the rainbow toned coins that bring huge premiums sat in canvas bags in bank vaults for decades...
This coin sold for at auction for in the June 2002 Heritage Longbeach Signature Sale for over $700. [IMG] Exactly how long does the rainbow...
What is the grade of this coin and why? The marks in the obverse left field are on the holder not the coin. [IMG] We don't tell newbies that...
My entire collection consists of rainbow toned coins and I don't own a single coin MS62 or below, so I think we have a dilemna. Toning is the...
Now back to some serious Jefferson Toners. It arrived in the mail today, the 1941-D NGC MS67* 5FS and as I suspected, it is so much better than...
They are business strikes from the 50's which are attributed by ANACS as error coins with an IMPROPERLY ANNEALED PLANCHET and the words black...
ANACS attributes these coins as an error coin IMPROPERLY ANNEALED PLANCHET. If they are wrong and it is just toning, OK, but I am going to trust...
I don't own any black beauties because they are error coins which I don't collect and IMO the are not very eye appealing. As for my photo...
RLM is too good. Congratulations, you nailed it. [IMG]
My luck is that I already own a 1917 T1 SLQ and don't have to worry about it. [IMG] NGC MS65 FH

Please guess the grade of this Buffalo Nickel. I am guessing it will take 2 pages to get the right answer. Somebody impress me please! [IMG]
yes it is true, blue indians
I am right there with you man. All my coins are rainbow toned and they are all graded by either PCGS or NGC. I have just 2 ANACS coins. All of...
I think it would be so cool to have a PR70 coin with a gold CAC sticker. It would be like extra credit in school. BTW--that was a joke!
Actually, I don't think it is apparent at all on the SLQ. The photos are too far away to show the whizzing. If the coin is whizzed, then the...
From PCGS's OFFICIAL GUIDE TO COIN GRADING AND COUNTERFEIT DETECTION, whizzing is defined as: "the process of mechanically moving the metal of a...
Oh no, that strike is a shame. From the obverse, I was thinking you had at least an MS66 and was envisioning it in an NGC holder (and in my...
Thank you! It is a very nice coin but I am very suspicious of all of these types of proofs. It wouldn't surprise me if this coin is AT. I...
