radatat Valued Member United States 468 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 1:05 pm Greetings. I usually post in E and V but have a few toned coins. I had read that black toned mercs were of interest. Here is one. Do you all eye candy collectors like these. Thanks Rich * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Dark toning is often avoided because damage can easily be hidden. I had an 1894 Morgan and for that reason PCGS wouldn't slab it. Describe it as if there were no picture.

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 4:09 pm Usually the ones with black toning are of interest if the bust is still a silverish color. It gives it a cameo effect that some people do indeed find quite attractive. I can state with certainty that if I had a coin with a "black and white" cameo effect, it would sell before a plain silver coin of the same grade/date/mm. As well as for a significant premium. Mind this is for coins that grade vf and better. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 4002 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 9:43 pm People, would you use this as a pocket piece in hopes of getting that camo look? I'm by no means a pro and will never claim to be...just my 2 cents A smile costs nothing to give or receive....GF If it's not hockey, it's not a sport Report this Post to the Staff

Winesteven Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 01/26/2021 03:48 am I'm not a fan of "tarnish" on my coins.
