It kind of looked like this type of toning. Any input would be great. Edited by travelcoin 05/24/2017 9:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 03:10 am I do not worry in an absolute sense if an ancient coin is toned (patinated) or not; it all has to do with how the coin appeals to your own eye. Almost all ancient coins are cleaned after recovery from burial, and they begin to re tone after that. Report this Post to the Staff
travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 05/25/2017 6:11 pm Ok thanks guys, I'm trying to figure out what I like best. More silver looking or a nice tone like this. Does toning add to the value of ancient coins at all? Does a shiny silver coin lose value? Report this Post to the Staff
