CherryPicker1 Pillar of the Community United States 646 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 4:27 pm Just wanted to share these toned proof nickels I picked up for basically face value from the LCS yesterday. Ive never seen toning quite like the one on the left. My question is, which one do you like better? Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 4:53 pm There's something about irredescent coloring I cant resist. If it progresses, it lends way to some very vibrant pinks, greens, even lilac. Back in the day, I bought a pf roll of mixed '60s era nics from Cheapslabs. Probably the nicest purchase ever made from them. Edited by fioti 09/29/2019 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 09/29/2019 8:57 pm Beautiful transitional toning as seen here is not stable. They will change in the medium to long term. Eventually, they will all look like a standard dull gray. The best way to slow down the progression to dull gray is to enclose them in airtights as soon as possible. Slabs OK, but not as environmentally secure as airtights. Report this Post to the Staff
