<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barney McRae, post: 25130340, member: 150594&quot;]No, I don&#039;t mean artificially toning. I don&#039;t know how anyway.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;m admittedly a blazer blast laser beam white fanatic of silver coins, but it seems a lot of people pay a premium for a toned coin..........which in my opinion, isn&#039;t as attractive... to me anyway. I just picked up an 1898 P that looks dang near perfect under a 10X mag. Weight is correct, but the entire coin is a dark tone. It is so toned the chest feathers look flat until you angle the coin, and there they are in full blazing glory! I haven&#039;t hammered it with MS70 and, see above, I was tempted. I have a couple of blazer whites with attractive rim toning but this coin baffles me. I&#039;ll try an get a photo of it soon to post.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that is not my question. In spite of the collectability of toned coins, will heavy toning kill grades if it&#039;s legit? I have no idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
