<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhayes222, post: 3018960, member: 93857&quot;]I added these two photos to show how the toning even went into the edge of the coin, where the depression in the box is at to allow for a finger to push the coin out of the box easily. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do understand that you don’t know me, and you do not know the history of this coin, and I am sure their are several fakes out there. However the only thing that was done to this coin, was it sat opened on display in my grandparents home. If that means it could have been artificially toned because of its environment, than I would agree. Other than that, nothing was done to purposely make this happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess it’s too pretty to look real, which is good for me to know as well. So if I did intend to sell it, I would probably want to get it professionally appraised by one of the organizations. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I kept it, what would be the best way to preserve the toning so it does not change? Can I just place it in a plastic case that fits around the coin, or would it be better to have it appraised so that it could be incased in something airtight. Or, lastly, since it’s no longer in the same environment, would it be less likely to tone any longer, and should remain as is just kept in its box?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
