elliottite Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 8:40 pm Hello again, I pulled this coin from a penny roll. It has the most awesome green tone. Anybody know what causes this or if it has any effects on a coins grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 68834 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 8:46 pm Just environmental toning, but really carries no premium. I'd say it grades AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 23687 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 8:49 pm @ell, as a general rule, toning should not affect the grade since that is purely an assessment of damage/wear. Also, in some cases, artificially toned coins might be called out. With that said, there are plenty of folks who like an attractively-toned coin, so of course keep it if you like it!

captainmandrake1 Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 05/14/2022 9:41 pm For me, I'd keep it. Sometimes I do that with circulated coins even if they are only worth a penny! For old coins and even modern silver coins, I must admit I'm the type of collector who'll pay extra for nice toning that isn't obviously artificial. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 45110 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 04:15 am I would not call that "toning' or maybe not call it collectable toning. Looks like a substance is/was on it.

ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 8503 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 06:41 am I'd suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Who knows, can't hurt. Report this Post to the Staff
