Are toned Lincoln proofs considered impaired ?

Good afternoon all ! Here i have a1950 and 1952 Lincoln Proof i bought for under $30 because i liked the colors of the toning , so i was wondering what the value was and if the toning hurts the value of these proof coins . Opinions welcomed and appreciated

Toning does not make a coin impaired if natural toned. As far as the value, it’s what you paid for it.

 

I agree NT would not equal impairment, but these two have carbon spotting and stains as well. That does not indicate proper storage/conservation/protection to me so they are impaired but not from toning.

 

Well said.

 

They are worth what was paid to me at the least... I very well could've spent as much on 2 fast food meals for my wife and I .

 

There was one other proof with better surfaces and another with worse .

 

Individual Coin Collections should revolve around the goals and desires of the collector. If we buy a coin we should pay what is fair and equitable in our own world. Only if investment or profit is a driver should a collector consider price paid. Make your collection fun and appealing to yourself.
