<p>[QUOTE="Aberlight, post: 412049, member: 6510"]I own mostly toned coins and on Ebay there are people that sell "toner". There are extremes as far as what is obvious and what is natural and of course a big questionable grey area. One good start is to look at as many NGC and PCGS coins that are toned to get a feel for the color change pattern. Keep in mind many different reactants cause toning and the change in colors will differ from reactants. I have had many dealers offer coins that were AT and even had one go as far as telling me that his $20 AT coin would be worth $200 if I had it slabbed and was offended when I told him his $20 AT coin wouldn't get slabbed nor ever be worth $200. Be careful of buying unslabed toned coins off Ebay as well as from dealers until you are familiar with what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the prettiest toned coins were stored for years in Raymond Wayte albums and this toning will be different than the Morgan Dollars stored in bags in bank vaults.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
