GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 02/18/2021 6:20 pm I'm not sure what you mean by "let you know", it'd be impossible for PCGS to try to justify in writing why every coin is given the grade it is. Personally I believe the coin has been artificially toned. Report this Post to the Staff
Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 701 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 12:42 pm @Grapecollects...what I was trying to say is that their fees remain the same with cardboard or non cardboard. This stuff is not cheap, I'm sure you're aware. We live and we learn daily. Your input and everyone else's is well appreciated. Thanks coin community, what will I do without you Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 5:20 pm I rather like the idea of "Market Acceptable Toning". Like most, I do like the appearance of nice rainbow toning, irrespective of how it may have happened. Because rainbow toning can be unstable over time, I really prefer blast white for MS++ silver coins. In both cases, air tight preservation is ideal. Nevertheless, because of the problem for myself of not being able to establish with 100% certainty if (especially) rainbow toning is artificial or otherwise, I have never ascribed any extra value that nice eye appeal due to toning may confer on a coin. I fully agree with PCGS "Questionable Color - UNC Detail" What impact that may have on an intending buyer is entirely up to that individual - not the seller. *For me, those who attempt artificial toning are just wasting their time, and are risking what may have been a beautiful coin by botching the process and not adding any extra value* if they are successful.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 8:36 pm Uncertain whether how close is from these pictures to the color of the actual coin, but if it what I see from my monitor, its not like some other coins I prefer. Although from my current perspective this doesn't look natural to me either. Edited by macmercury 02/25/2021 8:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
