3, 2, 1, 4 works for me. I do like toning.

I like to see the coins, and don't care how someone else might value it. Give me the shiny one that I can see!

Thank you for the continued comments. What spurred me to do this was a visit to PCGS's price guide. All three examples they show at the top of the Antietam guide are toned coins - thought that was odd.

I agree with commems that #2 is the most appealing, but that is our preference.
I accept the opinions of others who prefer toned coins.
Numismatic market pricing seems to support the preference of these collectors.

Anything except #2. I don't like dipped coins and there's no way this one hasn't had a bath after 83 years. Looks as if it had tab tone which was rinsed off and has begun to reform. #4 is a little too far gone ; somebody mentioned 'borderline environmental damage' which is a reasonable interpretation. 3-1-4-2.

I'm curious about #2, totally devoid of toning. Either this coin was dipped or else it was stored in something extremely secure, right?
Personally, a vintage coin is much more interesting when it has at least some toning, not like it was minted yesterday, and coin #2 looks too fresh for 1937.
My preference is coin #3. While it primarily has rim toning, I think it has more subtle toning throughout. I wonder if you could view these coins in hand, if coin #3 would actually have more luster than coin #2.
Coin #1 and #4 look really cool in my opinion, but just a bit much on the toning. coin #1 could be 100% natural toning, but in my mind I'm questioning whether there was some artificial component. Coin #4 is cool, but I just feel that it really reduces overall eye appeal.
Thanks for posting this!

Given a 68 grade, I would guess that it is "stock." But, someone who knows how to dip a coin may get away with it. I have a couple of coins of this vintage that have absolutely no toning but they certainly could have been dipped. Unless it was heavily altered I really can't tell.

First #1 then #2.
The first coin reminds me of New England fall foliage. The second one is just a plain, high grade coin. Don't like the sharp circular toning of #3, and the toning of #4 is just over-the-top.
