<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3081421, member: 76194&quot;]I like toned coins. The darker the better. But then again, us ancients folks like a lot of things that would freak out most slab happy modern collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]776066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776068[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, this last one still has a lot of the original dirt still clinging to it from where it was burried 2,200 years ago...in the modern coins community that would be a big no no and people would run away from it due to the &quot;environmental damage&quot;. But for us ancients folks its just another regular coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]776069[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Heck, if you don&#039;t like the way your modern coin is toning, get one that&#039;s been expertly dipped. You know those shinny Morgan dollars have been expertly dipped some point in the past. Silver doesn&#039;t naturally stay shinny 150+ years without the slightest bit of toning. There are people here who know how to do it in such a way it will still pass inspection by PCGS and NGC, so there will always be super shinny 150+ year old silver coins available in slabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
