I came across a beautiful coin @777, looks like some honest circulation wear plus the toning. I don't know if it is AT or not, but others will weigh in. What is most important is that you like it, so well done! "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Welcome!
A nice coin! The coloring is simply regular old tarnished silver. But to make the word tarnish into something that is better sounding when sold, the market has dubbed tarnish as "toning." Same thing. And yes, like your SLQ, it can be pretty.

Great looking coin!
The toning looks original to me (pastel, correct rainbow sequence).

I'll say F details (cleaned and now re-toning with characteristic iridescence).

Nice looking coin. Also, the 1930-S had the third-lowest mintage of the series, behind 1927 and 1923.

I don't mean to burst your bubble but it looks like it was artificially toned a long time ago and has since started to wear off . VF-25 Details .  |

Congratulation on accruing an attractive colorful coin, but I do agree with T-BOP that the coin has had some AT help with the color.

This is all new to me. I just thought the color on this coin was beautiful. I had no idea that someone could have done something to the coin to make it look like this. I thought it was something normal given the age of the coin. Well, once again I learned something new. However, I still think it's beautiful.
Thanks for all the comments.

@coinfrog — My statement should have said "1930-S had the third-lowest S mintage of the series." Trust me, I'm not forgetting 1916 & other key dates!

Typically natural toned colorful coins with nice eye appeal sell for more money. A strong market has developed for buying coins with nice color. The coin doctors artificially tone coins to sell in the toned coin market because of the high demand. Some of the coin doctors are very good with deceptive colorful toning. When buying a toned coin, one should ask how did the coin tone. Was the toning from paper, envelope, cigar box, jewelry box, paper rolls, wood, bank bags, album, TPG holder, etc. |

I found this coin in my 94yr old mothers jewelry box. So I don't know if someone in the past toned it. I'm pretty sure that she had it for years. Thanks again to everyone for all the comments.
