<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2117642, member: 57495&quot;]I&#039;ve always assumed that a good portion of toned silver coins out there that have been cleaned have then been put through some form of accelerated toning. Bar processes that damage the coin, for me the result matters more than whether it toned over decades in an old collector&#039;s cabinet or over days in a TIF experiment involving eggs and iguanas.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can get past the idea of &#039;natural&#039; toning (what exactly would qualify, anyway?), then how your coin looks just becomes an aesthetic choice.&nbsp; From the photographs, I would have been most keen to buy the post-juice pre-voodoo Gordian III.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like some coloured toning (and love your Selinos litra), but I can&#039;t say I find the rainbow Gordian attractive. Generally, I prefer it when the toning is a little more subtle, for example on this coin below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]401135[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
