TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 08/13/2016 5:23 pm I find coins that already exhibit a duller / toned finish are more susceptible to photograph poorly through plastic therefore amplifying the negative effect. Here is an example of a 66 and a 65 both ICCS graded MS-65. I think most would say that the 65 has better eye appeal. Edited by TheCoinHunter 08/13/2016 5:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5253 Posts	Posted 08/13/2016 5:36 pm Such unattractive toning (tarnish would be a better word) on the 1966. I would not care much for it. Better a nice PL set from the same year. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 08/14/2016 1:29 pm So in this case I would probably agree on the lack of eye appeal but mostly because of the obverse on the 66. I personally much prefer toned (or tarnished) coins. To me, they posses much more "character" and tend to be far more interesting than a blast white example. I have over 100 66 PL sets on hand...The all look the same to me... Report this Post to the Staff
