<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1706534, member: 22585&quot;]As many know, I am a fan of toned coins. Finding naturally toned silver coins is easy as pie due to silver being highly reactive to agents, chemicals, air quality, storage environments, etc..</p><p>This is one of the reasons I really enjoy finding clad toned coins.&nbsp; </p><p>To find naturally toned, attractive clad coins is far from an easy task. Just do a search on ebay and that quickly becomes apparent.</p><p>So to me, these rare clad toners should fetch a much higher premium than their silver brethren. There just doesn&#039;t seem to be a market for them right now though. I understand that it&#039;s nice to have silver content, but when you are paying a premium for toning that far exceeds it&#039;s melt value, I think the silver becomes mute.</p><p>One thing I have noticed is that there is an abundance of artificially toned clad coins available on ebay. However, they are so ridiculous and obvious, I can&#039;t believe they fool anyone. </p><p>Many clad coins will tone, but the majority of the time, they do not produce nice vivid colors or nice rainbows. The toning will be muted and not have that &quot;pop&quot; that the silver toners display.</p><p>I have been able to put together a pretty nice collection of these clads that break these general impression of modern toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I thought I would share some with the group. You can see the similarities in colors and patterns between the different series.</p><p><i>Side note: The first sign of AT, or rapid toning on clad coins is purple colors.&nbsp; </i></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a group I just pulled from a BU completed Dansco. Only one of the silver dimes were toned and of the rest, only these were toned. There wasn&#039;t any &quot;in between&quot; They were either monster toned like this, or they were blast white.</p><p>These happen to be the most spectacular toned clad dimes I have ever come across.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will only post a handful of the dimes. </p><p>If you would like to see all 27 Roosevelt clad toners from the same album, <a href="http://thecoinnection.com/Public/albumdisplay/album/437" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thecoinnection.com/Public/albumdisplay/album/437" rel="nofollow">here is the gallery</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b><font size="3">Image dump. brace yourselves.</font></b></p><p>If you take anything away from this post, let it be that these are the types of colors and patterns you are looking for when determining if a modern clad coin has natural color. Almost every one of these came from albums.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn3.coinnection.com/1000_1be37b40759f2a8e56910c31656ff304f10518b4f3c2f1e2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn1.coinnection.com/1000_385bc65545045e6a8ebcd4dc68f91d5021518b4f7a9edf2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn8.coinnection.com/1000_67f9f681df0eb603423eaccf630a0fb1f6518b4f8f716be.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn2.coinnection.com/1000_150bd7a8c7c7bc1cc735853b956298dda6518b5016566c6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn5.coinnection.com/1000_684a4ed167f0f2a13787960c89a2db6bc6518b5104bda62.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn2.coinnection.com/1000_6d93a03741ecce0b011251778027733852518b522d16a5d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><font face="arial black"><b>Here are a few naturally toned clads from other series. </b></font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="arial black"><b>You can really get a good idea of what to look for when accessing whether or not a clad toner is natural.</b></font></font></p><p><font size="3"><font face="arial black"><b></b></font></font><img src="http://cdn9.sharemyco.in/shared_ii12102694500a72c4dede8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn5.sharemyco.in/shared_ii12101928500a7292ebf53.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn7.sharemyco.in/shared_ii12098875500a72178dd56.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn4.sharemyco.in/shared_ii12088488500a703dd4f4e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn2.sharemyco.in/shared_ii120879500a6ff89c746.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn9.sharemyco.in/shared_109e5ad22303eae3b49064f57aac57bed7250a9d87147893.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://cdn4.sharemyco.in/shared_ii120475844fc270fec8521.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn5.sharemyco.in/shared_951dc146323a22cf0b0ce16c62580dfb38518bf68ea42da.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn5.coinnection.com/1000_81de3247b78926c2f71c95fa5bb20c216451206efd3134a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn3.coinnection.com/1000_07a8a2a85776c2dd4873bfe2e63a49141250838ad121a4e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn3.sharemyco.in/shared_15dbbe48c3e0e928620ff2b1a56741bc07517349493748c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn7.sharemyco.in/shared_0279a1bcf60195244fc50ee9812cca3ce7517349015af9b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn4.sharemyco.in/shared_2057b1a839e534515c107beb3274a6f8215173484ce1fba.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn8.sharemyco.in/shared_11376974b748bcea46efcc583d361204f4513c085e217e9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://cdn3.sharemyco.in/shared_376a61cf77f2f102689cac075118cbe65751287f8c224db.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://memberitemcdn9.coinnection.com/1000_5ee56b4ea74f15a8dde0f34f316138f30451287d46e7d23.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking.
