radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 1:05 pm Greetings. I usually post in E and V but have a few toned coins. I had read that black toned mercs were of interest. Here is one. Do you all eye candy collectors like these. Thanks Rich * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 01/25/2021 4:09 pm Usually the ones with black toning are of interest if the bust is still a silverish color. It gives it a cameo effect that some people do indeed find quite attractive. I can state with certainty that if I had a coin with a "black and white" cameo effect, it would sell before a plain silver coin of the same grade/date/mm. As well as for a significant premium. Mind this is for coins that grade vf and better. Report this Post to the Staff
