<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 12068, member: 648&quot;]I&#039;m not convinced this toning is artificial, though I&#039;ll quickly point out that I&#039;m no pro and certainly not a coin doctor.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen on numerous occasion coins that toned in albums look very much like this one...coins that I bought in collections that had been in albums for many years.&nbsp; Album toning technically is artificial, imo, since the coins are exposed to the cardboard/sulfur/whatever.&nbsp; Left outside the albums, the coins likely would look nothing like they do after the same number of years.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>But the hobby generally accepts long term toning as natural and desirable.&nbsp; It&#039;s the short term &quot;cookers&quot; that are frowned upon.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know where and how the grading services draw the line between natural and artificial but I&#039;m convinced that MANY toned coins in holders today were toned intentionally.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway you cut it, that seller is asking insane money for that coin.&nbsp; </p><p>Last week I bought some BU memorial cent rolls.&nbsp; Generally speaking I don&#039;t care for these but profit is profit, after all.&nbsp; I noticed that the coins on the ends of the paper rolls have toned beautifully...should I send them in for grading and list them on Feebay for a few hundred bucks?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
