Even the clad Kennedys acquired a Blue or gold hue. </p><p>You may try to call it the environment, that it was stored, but to think that original coins should be blast white, is preposterous.</p><p>A coin in my opinion should at least look like the reverse of this Half dollar.</p><p>All metals when mixed with an alloy will tone. Blast white coins are for the most part cleaned. Hence Toned = original.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
