<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 8290941, member: 17665"]This will always be a subjective thing based on any given persons likes or dislikes. I love this series as well as the bust halves. I love the blue toning that happens to nickels. But I prefer my silver clean and natural looking without the toning, especially on Bust & Seated coins. Some of my Kennedy halves have toned in the album, particularly the ones on the outside of the pages. The toning is acceptable but throws off the white of the others. One of our members here specializes in completely toned sets and I think that is great for him. In the end it has to be you that accepts a coin in whatever condition you prefer. This date was not a hard one to find and that's why, if it were me, I'd wait. There are quite a few dates of the Bust halves in V.F. that are quite affordable and for less than this one. I may be wrong but the very even toning on this gives me pause as to how the toning happened. White on the outside to blue and then russet, so even, like this would make me think this might be artificial toning of some nature. But I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
