<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaytant, post: 357166, member: 6902&quot;]Well is it just me, for some reason I feel that when I look at US coins in NGC PCGS holders (I am only aquinted with post 1920s coins), that the toned coins grade better? It seems that some coins that end up MS66 have the same detail and strike as an MS62 but are just nicely toned. Or maybe I can&#039;t make out the detail clearly through all the toning. Ah well.</p><p>I agree though, toning is pretty much whatever you choose it to be. After fiddling with some pocket change and a heater/oven, I have got some really nice looking coins out of what normally I would hardly give a second glance at. Personally I feel that a toned coin is a toned coin, no matter how it got colored -if you like the color and the coin surface isnt riddled with holes, why should I care if the coin was placed in a bag of garlic or else was toning in some attic chest. I would now be petrified to pay a premuin for a toned coin... especially when I could probably do it myself &quot;artificially&quot; (helllllooo my reverse proof eagle <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) for my own enjoyment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
