<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7654922, member: 105098&quot;]Hi [USER=121222]@Sustaina_shaeyman[/USER]&nbsp;&nbsp; welcome to coin talk.</p><p><br /></p><p>First I&#039;d like to mention those are called &quot;Silver Eagles&quot; or &quot;Silver American Eagles&quot;, not walking libertys.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion they look artificially toned to me,&nbsp; it&#039;s not following any of the natural pattern of how toning works, like really dark at the edge of the coin where they tone first. If i&#039;d seen any one of the top 3 in the first picture, I might go along with it, but the bottom one, #4, looks really artificial, and if I can question one, and they all have the same color, then I feel I should question them all. the sharp blue color, as well as a dark brown color is usually indicative of a chemical rapid toning. it should progress through a rainbow of colors normally depending on the thickness of the toning, when it&#039;s done quickly, there isn&#039;t much variation.</p><p><br /></p><p>that said, they have their appeal to some people and people willing to pay for them. if you are holding them for silver, then hold them for silver and wait for the price to go higher and sell them as silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>if you are selling them as toners, you should do that and the market will decide the value in the selling price. they list them for $70 or $80, they usually sell for $35-$45 though an untoned silver eagle sell for the same $35-$45 on ebay,&nbsp; and if graded and straight graded you could probably get even more than $70 for each if the slab gives no indication of questionable color.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a set of legit toners, even info on how they got toned and the reason for the pattern on some of them.</p><p><a href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/collectors-showcase/toned-coins/rainbow-pci-silver-eagles/album/1750" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/collectors-showcase/toned-coins/rainbow-pci-silver-eagles/album/1750" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/collectors-showcase/toned-coins/rainbow-pci-silver-eagles/album/1750</a></p><p><br /></p><p>even those pictured, toned faster than natural occurring due to storage conditions, but not that fast, to where it all colored evenly or as close to evenly as possible,&nbsp; they all display the rainbow or the earliest colors to appear from toning. </p><p>&nbsp;it should go, light gold, amber, russet, burgundy, cobalt, lt blue, cyan, then greens, yellows, oranges, reds, purples, blues again, then greens, that&#039;s the progression as the toning film gets thicker over time, your hints at the previous colors, but Hits hard on cobalt it&#039;s just not following the progression in my opinion, at least not at a steady rate over a long period of time like a few years but has the appearance it&#039;s happened over a very short period of time, like a few hours. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, just my 2 cents, good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
