<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Epi-hunter, post: 1304448, member: 34314&quot;]Hi everyone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I own a new but popular metal detecting forum, and as such, I am just now getting very interested in coin collecting, specifically semi-rare or rare dates in exceptional condition. I love to dig coins, and have dug some nice ones, but now I want to buy coins that are investment-worthy, but also coins that I enjoy personally.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find myself being attracted to coins that have a fairly significant rainbow hue, but I am questioning if this tone is fake or can be faked. I want coins that are uncleaned and that have their original patina. Why do coins develop this rainbow tone, if they do so on their own without &quot;help&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are a couple of ebay auctions right now with such coins that are demanding a premium (slabbed coins in proof condition or AU), and although the coins are beautiful, I can&#039;t help but wonder if this toning is the real thing. What is the real thing, and how do you know? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
