Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6857 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 12:16 pm Ordinarily, I don't go in for toning, but this coin caught my eye. $15.50 on ebay with free shipping. Curious if you guys think the wild toning pattern is the result of poor alloy mixing, contact with tape, something else? The streaks are essentially parallel on both faces. ebay pics: My pics: Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6857 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 2:06 pm Thanks, guys. =) Quote: Any indication noted on the holder? Nope. Typical blue label, PCGS MS65. Edit: although the seller did put their own very sticky inventory label on the upper right corner. Edited by Brandmeister 05/22/2025 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15830 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 06:28 am Interesting coin for sure. No idea what caused that toning. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 104714 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 07:46 am Very nice nickel - looks like a bad mix to me. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 10:29 am I like it as well. Putting a set of toners together myself, in raw form, I have a few that look similar. Blue/violet stripes, and often pondered on how they occur or why myself.
