[QUOTE="JBK, post: 43733, member: 1101"]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am actually looking for ways to get some of my less-than-perfect BU Eagles to tone up. I might try something severe like sandwich them between some cardboard. If you want a BU coin, then this one pictured is not for you, but if you like toned coins, you’d say to leave it where it is and see what happens next. I left a SE in a Littleton coin company foam holder a bit too long and one area near the edge turned a brilliant purple. If I could get all or most of the coin to turn that cooler, I wouldn’t part with it for 35$ or even twice that. Proper coin storage is key, of course, and I would not recommend turning a BU coin into something like the one pictured intentionally, but what has happed to this coin is not exactly tragic. It looks to me like this coin is well on the way to some nice iridescent amber toning that could turn some other colors also. Might end up a real beauty, worth a premium.[/QUOTE]
