Message:: [QUOTE="mark_h, post: 685796, member: 3726"]Glad you found this thread I was about to post a link in your other thread to this one.  And no humiliation should be involved - but no I do not think all MS coins should look like they just came from the mint.  Take a 100 year old morgan, I would expect it to have some toning on it just from being out in the environment.  Then thing about 200 year old coppers - I would expect most of those(not all) to be brown, very few RB's, and even fewer reds.  All of that just from the age and environment.  I am not an expert myself, but I agree on those rainbow coins - to me most of them do not look natural. I am not saying they are not NT, but they are not my cup of tea.  I also agree that the pennyladies coins do not look the same - they look natural, but it could also be the copper versus the silver coins that helps subdue those rainbow colors.  Just my opinion and not an expert on toned coins.[/QUOTE]
