But that isn't an option. You get the lower grade coin and whatever cash they determine they owe you. You don't have any say in the matter.
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:
He canceled the contest so no sense in this going on. Of course if he wants to post about the coins in the regular forum sections, by all means do...
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...

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
Could be, but that would not explain the lighter area directly above it. Unless of course the rubber band was holding something wrapped around the...
No I am not being ironic or facetious at all.
Steve - Those are just as bad if not worse than plain paper envelopes. The cotton liners will hairline the coins. Now this may be less of a...
Is it a problem coin ? Yes, it is. The coin has quite a few scratches on it. As for the toning pattern, my guess is something laid across that...
It doesn't work that way, in fact it works exactly the opposite way. Yes the paper will absorb some of whatever moisture is there, but it will...
The only difference there is between natural toning and artificial toning is intent. Circulated coins, while they will tone to a limited degree,...
I received an email from a fellow WINS (World Internet Numismatic Society) member this morning that was truly a joy to receive. It contained the...
