<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1033134, member: 15309&quot;]Well that brings up another extremely important point about toned coins.&nbsp; When you see a photo of a toned coin for sale, odds are that the photo is going to show the coin from the most positive angle.&nbsp; From my photo, it seems hard to believe that the coin is very dark &quot;approaching black&quot; in some areas, but if you saw the coin in hand, you would have no doubts.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as telltale signs, there is no substitute for experience.&nbsp; Personally, it takes me a few coins before I can accurately predict what a coin will look like in hand based on the seller&#039;s photos.&nbsp; Each photographer has their own style and are consistent in their methods of photography.&nbsp; This consistency allows you to predict what the coins will look like in hand.&nbsp; But you have to pony up in the beginning using blind faith.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
