HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25453 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 7:42 pm Toning is also a transitional and ephemeral phenomenon. Toned coins will not maintain that appearance in the long run. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Real coins may be untoned, naturally toned, or artificially toned. The same is true of fakes.

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 10:08 pm Rainbow toning on a Gem coin is the most expensive thing by weight in the world. That said, even TPGers never always get it right when it comes to toning. On circ silver coins, polished surfaces can disappear in a minute, never to be seen again. Impregnated toning paper can cover the sins of cleaning and over-dipping. Study, study again, and study some more; know the differences between applied and naturally-spreading toning. The Best Thing that you can hope for is to look at a toned coin and know that something... isn't.... right if it isn't Report this Post to the Staff
