chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 11:01 am I purchased this Whitman folder for a couple bucks, in the hopes of finding a variety or error coin. I noticed the toning, is this good to see on Lincoln's? The reverse of these coins have a light blue toning and the obverse looks like it has been dipped in maple syrup with toning more obvious on some than others. Thank you!

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 11:54 am Would they tone further in airtites? Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 1:20 pm You can't stop the progression once it has started all you can do is slow it down. Thad is saying that they look good now, which they do, so it's time to slow it down by taking them out of the album and puting them in airtites which will slow it down considerably. I personally would let them simmer but they can get worse instead of better. Your call, but Thad is the man when it comes to toned lincolns so I would forget my own advise to myself and go with him too Edited by Cascade 11/01/2015 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 1:38 pm I really appreciate the information. You should see one of the zinc bubbled coins that is as toned as these ones, the mint should be ashamed of what they did to our currency. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36710 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 12:09 pm The toning looks natural for coins stored in this type of folder. These were designed as cheap entry level albums for circulated coins. Report this Post to the Staff
