<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1419632, member: 15309"]IMO, that is a pretty common toning pattern for a toned IHC's. The coin in the link is another story. Everyone knows that the correct toning progression is yellow-magenta-cyan and at first glance the coin in question seems to show that progression. The problem is that the target toning on this coin is backwards. Target toning is the result of album storage where the coin comes in contact with the sulfur rich album pages at the rim of the coin. The result is a progression of toning in which the most advanced toning is at the peripheries. On this coin, the green (cyan) is in the center of the coin with the less advanced colors appearing at the peripheries. Furthermore, there is no toning correspondence between the obverse and reverse. So the obverse is supposed to be target toned but the reverse is monochromatic leading us to believe that someone stored this proof IHC in a Whitman push in album or the like. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, but I find the toning on this coin to be highly questionable. So questionable that I wouldn't even buy it if it resided in NGC or PCGS plastic! But since it isn't in plastic, I will treat it like the radioactive coin that it is and run as far and as fast away as I can.
