<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2399748, member: 19165"]First, this coin is, in my opinion, very much AT. It doesn't look right for an album coin (the type of thumb-buster he shows isn't known for toning, and even if it did, it would be two sided). Album toning comes from proximity to the cardboard holder, and should thus be fairly uniform around the rim of the coin. I've seen letter toning like he mentions, but this coin definitely doesn't look like it to me. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am really not understanding what you are trying to say here? Are you saying that you don't think circulated coins can tone? Or are you saying that you think the coin tones, then it circulates, and you don't understand how it would still be toned? A circulated toned coin usually has been stored by a collector for a number of years, and acquires the toning after the circulation wear. An example of this would be this Bust half: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bob%20Campbell/1813CBHobvHR08_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Bob%20Campbell/1813CBHrevHR03_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
