Message:: [QUOTE="Dynoking, post: 26089633, member: 81795"]Nice review, thanks for sharing. I am not a toning expert by any means but my limited experience over the years causes me to question the '84 O for lack of color variation. The '85 O looks like it was hit with sulfur based on other coins that were presented as examples of artificial toning. Over the years there were some scientific papers posted here on CT and that caused me to research further on the net. The explanations were over my HS science class education. Overall I've found toned coin prices to be highly subjective. I can not remember the year or MM but I bought a graded monster toner from Great Collections for $500 and change. I had it in my case for 6-8 months. It caused many people to stop, look, and talk about it but no one would give me my ask price of $750. I kicked it back to GC and got $600+ for it. That was enough to cure me of MT.I am happy to see there still is a strong market for MT. Happy collecting![/QUOTE]
