<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CHAMELEON, post: 724185, member: 11032&quot;]Yes, I agree. That &#039;79 half dollar looks like it was baked in an oven or torched. I&#039;ve never seem a naturally toned clad coin that looks like that. All the metals used in coins can tone except for gold. Sometimes gold coins can be found with toning, but it is the copper used in the coin that is toning and not the gold. Copper is the most reactive metal used in coins, and silver is the second most reactive. Clad and nickel coins are not as reactive, but when nickel does tone I think it is the prettiest (just my opinion). Here&#039;s a toned nickel and another toned clad quarter.</p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/CHAMELEONCOINS/100_3578.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/CHAMELEONCOINS/100_1151B.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
