sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 4:20 pm I have produced artificial toning with heat to simulate toning as appears here. Try practicing with some newly issued Quarters, using various heat levels and for varying amounts of time. Nevertheless this Ike could have acquired this rather beautiful toning quite naturally, it the right environment has been available. Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 11/01/2015 5:01 pm Silver Proof coins often tone more vividly, deeply and irregularly than business strikes. That said, I'm on the fence here. TBH I like it either way and would want it in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 11/02/2015 11:15 am I see elevated chromatics here. I want to say NT because of that but I'm on the fence. Leaning towards NT though And while toning has a scientific method being it I'm just not that knowledgeable on the variables with ike in regards to silver ike surfaces and planchet prep and how it translates. Read about elevated chromatics here... http://www.jhonecash.com/coins/tonedmorgans.asp Report this Post to the Staff
