pocket change 50 Pillar of the Community Canada 1751 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 1:26 pm I have some toned coins that the stage of toning, is not the attractive variety. An example would be darkish brown on edges, almost a nicotine type color. I find it detracts from the coin. I'm wondering if there's a chance for it to either spread or change to a nicer shade? It's in a 1995 birds of Canada silver fifty cent piece and a 1984 silver dollar. Sorry no pics, I suck at uploading. I'm also curious if this will affect the selling price negatively? The toning is on outer edge, only 1 side and half way around. All I put is welcome. Rox Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 2:18 pm I think that once it hits a darker brown black it's done for. No colors will come. Might be best to keep it like that instead of taking the tarnish off. Report this Post to the Staff
john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 4:10 pm suffocate the coin in an air tight plastic holder and put that in a small plastic zip bag you might get lucky in the future. I have heard if you store them in manilla envelopes the coin may tone quite nicely but I am unsure how the chemicals in the envelope will effect the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
