<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2632564, member: 80121&quot;]I&#039;ve been collecting for fifty years, and I have seen toning both being accepted as adding to a coin&#039;s value and toning being considered corrosion. It seems to run in cycles and currently toning brings a premium and is generally accepted. I normally buy toned coins, primarily Morgans, because I like the way they look, on the other hand, the ones I have put into my Albums tend to not be toned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I inherited a framed set of 20th Century coins from my dad. Apparently, the backing or even the holder, being old, have something in them that toned the silver coins in the set. The toning for the most part is rainbow, from the edge in. I brought the set to a Coin Club meeting and the results was very interesting. Some of the members raved over the beautiful toning (the Liberty Standing Quarter was the nicest toned) others said that it was a shame that the holder had corroded the coins. Even some of the Nickel Clad coins have a subdued toning. I guess that old saying, &quot;beauty is in the eye of the beholder&quot; is true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
