<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coolhandred24, post: 7754492, member: 112919&quot;]I collect RB &amp; Bn Indian Head Cents, never RD, and I avoid coins like this one with what I consider &quot;flat&quot; toning.&nbsp; It looks unnatural to me, and it doesn&#039;t matter if it is in a NGC, PCGS or any other slab.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a group of Indian Head cents, common dates, with a progression of toning from very minimal red, usually located in the devices and around the stars, to ones almost attaining full red.&nbsp; When viewed in hand they always have a progression of toning.&nbsp; I enjoy the ones with what I consider a &quot;halo&quot; of toning in the fields on the obverse.&nbsp; Most of these coins are slabbed as MS-62, MS-63 and MS-64.&nbsp; I do have a few MS-65 BN that are a beautiful milk chocolate color.&nbsp; Recently I have started adding &quot;Blueberries&quot; and others that is usually found on Proof Indian Cents from the 1880s.</p><p><br /></p><p>As they say toning is in the eye of the beholder.&nbsp;&nbsp; And I would have expected this IHC to be graded as &quot;Unc, Questionable Color&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
