<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2115669, member: 23368"]I'm someone who doesn't collect toned coins. I do own a few but I consider just two or three examples not necessarily a collection of them. I also must be the odd fellow because rainbow toning does not appeal to me. I like a nice toning pattern around the edge and subtle toning on the details. After that, they look un-natural to me, similar to a painted or colored coin. (Which I don't have at all.) I like the quality engraving and the natural patina of U.S. classic coins and even the older European ones. But I will admit, one of the prettier coins I ever saw, was a toned coin featured in a Heritage Auction, at an ANA Convention, in Chicago. I don't remember it's selling price, but they had it on the bourse floor for everyone to see. Very few people walked by without taking a very serious look at it. It was gorgeous![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
