[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 53640, member: 705"]Hey Ryan--(hope your not my brother-in-law!!! his name is Ryan too) Toning can raise the value or can lower it...deep dark toning I think would lower it..whereas bright green and blue toning might raise the value. It all depends on the buyer...I don't like too much toning so most of the time I try to buy coins with out it.... I have seen coins graded by ANACS come back AT (artificial toning) that the only thing that happened to them were that they were left in the sun for a year... Toning can happen because of many things...I think most of the time it is because of the way the coins are stored.... If you want to see something neat put a new cent on a light blub and turn on the light and leave it for about 5 min...then turn it off and leave it for another 5-10 min (let the coin cool off) and you will have a toned cent...yes it will be AT but it will be fun!! I'm sure more "toning lovers" will stop by and show some photos maybe...!!! Speedy[/QUOTE]
