<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 367422, member: 6370&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t pay more for any kind of toning. If I want a toned coin I will do it myself but I prefer not to tamper with the coin. If it tones as it is in normal storage, that&#039;s fine but I wont try to tone it nor would I pay more for it. I dont like bright rainbow colored coins anyway...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One thing I have found is that MOST coins I have that are very old, they have multifaceted toning. They have toned with the normal brackish darkness but most have very subtle color in the toning as well. One can see a little color in or around the dark toning but the only way to see the color REAL clearly is to look at the surface in a light at an angle. When one does that it looks much like a puddle of water on asphalt with a bit of gasoline in it. I am sure that there are NT coins with super bright rainbow colors but I have never come across one, even when I am the first person to see a coin after 50 years in a dresser drawer....I have only encountered either brackish black tone or the type I described above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
