<p>[QUOTE="WINS7, post: 17674, member: 1413"]That's certainly one way of looking at it. Toning can be considered tarnish similar to rust on steel. Oxidation is oxidation, however IMHO that Buffalo has more character and every bit as much (or more) eye appeal than a blazing white example. I happen to have one of those too. I'm a little surprized at only a single response, but I suppose toned or tarnished coins aren't for everyone any more than blast white coins excite every collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, that Buffalo sits in an NGC slab labled MS64 and as I understand it lived in an old Whitman folder for many, many years. It is considered natually toned, as much as nature had anything to do with the materials in the Whitman folder and the environmental conditions it was kept in for all those years.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, that's what is so great about this hobby.
