Sorry I haven't rotated it yet, but you get the idea. Pic taken at ANA Summer Seminar while in the photography class. I recommend the class 100%. You can never stop learning.

 

BadThad,

How can I get some Verdi-Care?

 

Posted this one on the forums before but my favorite coin in my collection:

Had an extra moment so I rotated and cropped your image. It’s easier to see how nice it is.

 

PCGS ms62. Looks like it was stored between two coins when it toned.

I like the way that these nickels, although only 15 years old, have picked up enough toning to be noticeable. Although not as strongly toned as the one @Skyman posted, this even golden toning gives the coin a warm, pleasant appearance. Here’s one with the satin finish.

 

Let's say you purchase a toned coin because of its toning. Now you want to store that coin in such a way that it allows it to continue toning over time. While not accelerating or causing any artificial toning. Any suggestions?

 

If a toned coin has been removed from the environment that caused the toning it is most likely not going to tone in the same fashion. There are so many contributing factors and variables at hand that it would be highly unlikely if not impossible to replicate those environmental conditions to be exact as the source of the original toning.

If a coin was purchased due to the toning the best option would be to halt or slow down the toning as much as possible to keep the coin in that condition.

I honestly didn't care either way on this one but am curious if the toning is real or induced. Thoughts?

 

I'm in the Artificial Toning camp. Peace dollars don't tone like that in my experience.

 

By far the coolest Lincoln I've owned.

I bought this when I was a youngster and put it a Whitman that hasn't been opened in years. It matured
