kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 10:03 am Hi folks, was looking through some dimes I need on ebay and came across this one. Thoughts on the toning? I know sometimes they're brought on unnaturally with chemicals, but I just don't know here. Thanks! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1947-S-tone...em4171ec1be4 Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5205 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 7:30 pm Are you specifically looking for a tone coin of that year or any 1947-S? Are you trying to match the grade to others in your set? 1947S is not a key date and you could score a brilliant white MS coins for a dollar or 2 more than this one will end at unless someone jumps high due to the toning. I bought an almost complete circulated silver Roosevelt set missing a few dates for melt and when I went to fill the few empty holes I had to fight the temptation to by MS coins for a few dollars more because the ones I did stick out like a sore thumb in the album against the rest of the coins.

kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 8:00 pm Jack- I'm not looking for any specific condition or toning. I've put together a set of silver Roosies at mostly melt much like you have with most being in circ condition. I do have some ms coins and they do stick out but that's ok with me. I'm watching several -47S and -49S dimes now as they're the only ones I need. I like toned silver but the toning on this one didn't really appeal to me. I just threw the question on here about the toning for feedback and for some education. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
