One thing I love about displaying coins in an album is seeing the variations of the patina and toning of the coins.
Personally I would put the most attractive example of that date in the album. If it happens to be a toned coin then so be it.

While toning can increase the value of a coin, I would highly doubt it would be worth paying to have them graded. Coins are only worth as much as someone will pay for them. As far as what to put in your book, which do you like better? If you search halves often, and really do get a lot of toned halves, you might consider building a separate set of just toned coins.

I would save the toned coins, but keep them separate. I would put the un-toned ones in the book for the sake of consistency.

Save the toned ones. I have one from 1972 that is toned a bit. Also, does anyone know if Kennedy half dollars tone gold? I have a book of them and was looking through last night when I came across a 'gold' half. Any ideas? |

OneMoreRoll - They can have gold tone or be gold plated. This is a gold plated one that I found.   |

The one on the left is the 'gold' one I received. The middle coin is a 1970 D. And the one on the far right is one I found while roll hunting. I think that the one on the far left is toned gold and the one on the far right is painted. Does anyone agree or disagree?

Left would be a toned coin. One on the right looks like a plated one the same as mine.

Is a bit hard to tell from the photo b/c of the lighting but my best assumption would be that it is toned. I have a bi-centennial one like that with nearly the same tone to it. Once again though, I'm not the expert, arthrene is.
