<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2703815, member: 15062"]I'm not interested in luster if the coin just has natural age toning - brown for copper and shades of grey for silver. That kind of toning I can, and do, live happily with. What will never be seen on any coin I own is this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.jhonecash.com/images/coins/171942802_ebaygallery.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why does rainbow toning mainly appear on Morgans and late 20th century coins? It's very rarely seen on 18th and early 19th century coins. If it's a natural process shouldn't we see it on the Seated Liberty series half dimes, dimes, double dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars? How about the various silver bust coins? Yes, someone will probably come up with counter examples but for every one of those I can show thousands of Morgans or ASE's with supposedly natural rainbow toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I collect only type coins and am only missing a few from the 1700's. There are plenty that are toned but absolutely no rainbows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
