1000_Rubles Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 11:30 pm I personally like natural album toning around the edge of the coin and that's all I've purchased, although I do find other toning beautiful! Report this Post to the Staff

I agree completely. Rim toning doesn't particularly distract from the coin's main details (unlike other types of toning that tend to cover them up) but still looks nice, IMO.

Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 12:31 am Here's another toner I like. As beautiful as a blast white walker is, they start to all look the same. Ones like this have character. My Two Cents at least. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 05:50 am Attractive toning always gets my vote, though sometimes a blast white deeply cameoed Proof Barber or Morgan can also get me just as excited as one with natural rainbow colors. With colored toning I always prefer lighter colors, from blues to pinks and golds. Any brown, so called "russet" or dark toning just takes away from the eye appeal usually.

Catbert Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 07/12/2014 11:13 am I bet I'm in the minority based upon what I see in this thread, but I like colorful toning that is "original looking" and unlikely to have been achieved through coin doctoring. I don't claim to be an expert at determining this. I dislike old coins that are blast white since I think (other than Morgan dollars) that these were achieved by dipping to remove the natural toning progression achieved through time.
