    You can have all of the toned gold you want, I find it hideous :p
    Probably better I don't have a taste for gold, little out of my price range.

    Am I correct that the toning of gold coins is tied to whatever other metal is part of the alloy, not the gold itself?

    I was never really into gold coins mostly because of the expense.

    Plus for the mint marks, I have a Charlotte and a Dahlonega half eagle.
    That's it.
