Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 11:41 am I am not very good at grading these so I could use some opinions, I believe it is a VF-20. Also how do I determine what the value of the coin is? My last graysheet list shows Fine at $24-$26 and VF at $60-$66.

Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 12:53 pm I think toning on a circulated coin usually indicates AT? Something to do with the fresh surface + exposure to certain sulphurs over a few years building up a tone... circulated wouldnt normally be able to do that.... the question is whether a circulated coin, which is then tucked away near the right atmosphere for a few years would be able to tone? And I'm guessing most likely it would have to be cleaned first? All guesses, sorry :) Report this Post to the Staff

I suspect circulation immediately wears off microscopic irregularities in the fields which cause the irridescent look of natural toning. Circulation shouldn't necessarily change the thin film effect, but I've never seen a circulated (below high AU) rainbow toner in a slab, nor have I ever seen one I considered natural. Another possibility is that few circulated coins were ever stored under circumstances that encouraged Natural Toning. Report this Post to the Staff
Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 4:05 pm Do you think the build of oils/dirt on a post-circulated coin would also possibly prevent toning, even in an ideal environment? Since these would be essentially forming a barrier between the raw metal and the atmosphere? unless it was cleaned first. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/06/2015 4:30 pm Perhaps, but note that circulated coins often bypass the thin film effect and to straight to black toning. Report this Post to the Staff
