<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 366637, member: 4068&quot;]I love the look of a high luster MS silver coin as much as anyone. For the coin to look like it just came off the presses and be 50, 60 years old and older warms my heart and thrills me with excitment, specially if I own it.</p><p><br /></p><p>To answer your question, for me the toning if natural will have red, blues, and shades of violet, maybe some green and yellow. Mostly its the fire red into the blue that makes me swoon with desire over the coin. Personally it reminds me of the horizone at sun rize and sun set...breath takingly beautiful. Also knowing that if its natural it would have taken many, many years, sometimes decades to form this look.</p><p><br /></p><p>AT toning is still quite beautiful but knowing that it was produced vertually over night with chemicals and heat kind of ruins the passion slightly, but not completely. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have some Statehood quarters BU that I have purposefully subjective to a paper that i know will tone them over time. It is facinating to see them start this process and mature through it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Allen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
