So I am really addicted to toned pennies now.....I have gotten 36 in the past week from going through 3 boxes of pennies (still going through). I was wondering how people decided what kind of toned coin to keep. Thanks!
I love toned coins, too. There are a lot of collectors who don't like them. They would rather have blast white coins instead. It really is all about what you like and want to keep.
Beautiful rainbow toning on a coin ids like a flower: it is very delicate. This sort of toning is in a transitory state between mint fresh and full even coloured patination. For this reason, it is almost impossible to arrest toning at a particular point on the way to full patination. About the best you can do is enclose such a coin in an airtight capsule, and hope for the best.

HHHMMMMMm. A blast white Copper Cent would make me wonder if real. Used to be a forum called Toned Coin Forum but vanished not long ago. Wonder why since so many people like Toned coins. I really am a fan of blast white but not for PENNIES.
Blast white could be used for a 1943 steel cent though... I have one w/ beautiful pink / light purple toning on the reverse. It is absolutely stunning.
