svtPONY95 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 02/11/2008 4:42 pm I was wondering if anyone with experience in determining natural toning could tell me if this coin's toning is natural or artificial. Report this Post to the Staff

Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 02/11/2008 7:54 pm Wow, touchy subject. What I will say is that if you weren't there when it happened, you will never know for sure. Don't get caught up in paying stupid money for toning, and if you like it, who cares if it's NT or AT. Unfortunately it is fairly simple to accelerate the toning of coins. So you have to decide what you are willing to pay, and what you want in your collection. So basically I just muddied the water even more for you..... Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleDie Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 02/11/2008 8:09 pm It's difficult to tell in this picture, but I'm leaning towards natural toning. Usually a coin that is toned artificially with heat it will be toned on both sides evenly, and this coin is not the same on both sides. It looks like album toning to me, and a nice 1832 5 cents.

AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 11:20 am Yep, looks like nice old album toning to me. I'd call it natural. Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 02/12/2008 9:27 pm Honestly, that solid blue is so easy to do, I have to go with AT. Report this Post to the Staff
