<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 24574718, member: 105571&quot;]When I see that kind of toning on a circulated IHC, say below AU-58, I always suspect some doctoring.&nbsp; Even with MS coins that are raw, there are a lot of doctored coins out there.&nbsp; I know, I have bought a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH, there are some MS coins and many Proof IHCs in straight-grade slabs that are beautifully toned in these colors.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, my general rule is if the coin is raw and toned this way, I assume it&#039;s been artificially toned and just move on.&nbsp; If it&#039;s in a slab and straight-graded I&#039;ll give it a good long look.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, it&#039;s your collection and if you like the look of these two coins, then by all means keep them in the collection.&nbsp; Just don&#039;t expect them to market well if you ever want to move them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
