[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 517979, member: 2972"]If you are just getting started with toned coins, I would strongly suggest you begin your education by collecting mint sets from the mid to late 50's. They are readily available, There are some really spectacular coins available with little premium, they are almost never AT, and will give you a good foundation upon which to branch out into other types of toned coins. As for your questions: "... all were toned on the obverse and normal on the reverse. Is this a good sign of natural toning?" No, not necessarily. "Where is a good place to look?" Please see my comments above -- unless you are skilled enough to be able to tell the difference between an AT and NT coin, I would suggest you stick to certified coins, or the mint sets above. To send you out into the shark tank of toned coins without a good understanding of toning is wrought with danger.[/QUOTE]
