I have some thoughts on them and would like to hear yours. Out of all of them this is by far my favorite, I am totally in love with the colors on this one. This one graded MS67. This second one has some really, really intense psychedelic obverse toning. Not really to my liking personally but probably worth many times what I paid. PCGS graded it MS66. This rosie dime was kinda sad, they gave it questionable color. I bought it from a very reputable dealer who specializes in toned coins, I've dealt with him many, many times. This coin he said he cut from a mint set, and I have no reason to doubt his word. I personally think it's NT but PCGS didn't agree. This next coin has the same really intense toning as coin #2 but on the reverse, it has nice lighter toning on the obverse. Lastly this one which PCGS really disappointed me on. They gave it Questionable Color which makes no sense at all. The coin above (#4) has the exact same toning, but that straight graded, so why did this one QC? This was one of the "safe" coins in this submission. I thought coins #2 and #4 were gonna QC, but no it was #5. Weird. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 7:56 pm The third coin pictured is my favorite. However I am always tempted to think that the beautiful rainbow toning may be artificial by careful heat treatment. For me there is no loss or increase in value for an ASE bullion coin that may? have been interfered with in this way, but others may not be so tolerant. I I was a third party grader there would be no comment, because there no way to know for sure if the toning was natural or artificial. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that I might try to experiment with a few newly issued copper nickel Australian coins. (20 and 50 Cent coins). My plan is to experiment with a range heat treatment temperatures and exposure times. After each coin has cooled I will permanently fix the toning by sealing them in can spray acrylic, and then to protect the seal coat from chipping, to further protecting the coin in a snap lock acrylic capsule. That way, the rainbow toning will be permanently fixed and protected. High class 'shed job', with a touch of panache! Beautiful rainbow toning can be unstable, and most probably deteriorate over time, hence the need for careful protection. I have seen some nice examples of multi colored enameled British silver Half Crowns of the 19th Century. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 8:10 pm Well I suppose they were sort of heat treated lol. I got these from a person in my community inherited them from his dad. His dad kept them in his gun safe in their house since the 80's. The guy decided to sell them a few months back after their house was the target of an arsonist. Report this Post to the Staff

But coin #2 I likely will and coins 4 and 5 I might. I'm not a massive lover for that insanely intense toning, though I do think it is cool. Coin #5 is very nice, except that silver spot on the center of the obverse is some sort of residue I think. Report this Post to the Staff
PNWType Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 9:07 pm The times when TPG's do and don't say "Questionable Color" are always head scratchers. Like you said, that "safe" one being QC seems super strange compared with the one above it. I think #5 is my favorite though, what a pretty color and it doesn't really affect the ability to see the design like #1. Report this Post to the Staff
