Jim- I'm NOT the expert. There are many on this site who are. I don't see how they could be "naturally toned." They aren't old enough. They are heart-stopping gorgeous Silver Eagles, though. Just my hunch. Jack

Artificial sorry Jack, these can tone. It only takes about 10yrs +/- in the right conditions for a stable film to develop These are NT... and killer    Edited by Cascade

I don't think it's natural. Although it's very nice toning imo.

Jim's coins...can't blame them on Global Warming...they were seriously baked Cascade,  Edited to add: It is really rare for an ASE to severely tone on BOTH sides. Most of the time one side has much less color if any. If it was sitting on top of other similar coins (like Morgan dollars in a bag) it will have a crescent toning where they overlapped. A pocket piece is another story but it will show significant wear.... same coin:   Edited by Foxwoods Man

They are artificially toned but they are ASE's so it doesn't matter. No numismatic value is lost. It's still worth what it was before at'd - 1 ounce of silver. |

I handled a few First Release 2012 Eagles coming straight from the mint with significant toning upon initial opening. It doesn't always take 10 years.
