Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 4:52 pm I understand most collectors love tone coins, but most don't like questionable color. Is it when it is attractive or you are trying to sell it that it becomes toned? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 6:59 pm Natural and original toning here - good shot at 64BN. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 7:59 pm I agree with Coinfrog. Looks 64bn. Is this coin marked QC? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 9:05 pm Questionable color is usually noted by TPG on "details only coins" where artificial color/toning is not specifically called out. Attractiveness or saleability should not be a factor in such a description. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 9:14 pm Not exactly sure of what you are saying, but disagree on higher grade coins. Eye appeal is definitely a factor in the TPG grading of 64, 65 and higher examples. Edited by Coinfrog 04/22/2019 9:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sasquatch Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 9:38 pm This did grade 64. I generally stay away from toned coins unless it is subtle. I have seen some that were natural that look fake, and Iv'e seen faked ones that looked natural. I guess there is nothing better than experience. Report this Post to the Staff
