one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 7:16 pm I'm curious about #2, totally devoid of toning. Either this coin was dipped or else it was stored in something extremely secure, right? Personally, a vintage coin is much more interesting when it has at least some toning, not like it was minted yesterday, and coin #2 looks too fresh for 1937. My preference is coin #3. While it primarily has rim toning, I think it has more subtle toning throughout. I wonder if you could view these coins in hand, if coin #3 would actually have more luster than coin #2. Coin #1 and #4 look really cool in my opinion, but just a bit much on the toning. coin #1 could be 100% natural toning, but in my mind I'm questioning whether there was some artificial component. Coin #4 is cool, but I just feel that it really reduces overall eye appeal. Thanks for posting this! Report this Post to the Staff

Either this coin was dipped or else it was stored in something extremely secure, right? I can't say if #2 has been dipped. Given a 68 grade, I would guess that it is "stock." But, someone who knows how to dip a coin may get away with it. I have a couple of coins of this vintage that have absolutely no toning but they certainly could have been dipped. Unless it was heavily altered I really can't tell. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5191 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 12:45 pm First #1 then #2. The first coin reminds me of New England fall foliage. The second one is just a plain, high grade coin. Don't like the sharp circular toning of #3, and the toning of #4 is just over-the-top.
