Numisto Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 11:55 pm Hi all, I've come into these Jefferson nickels with really cool toning, and I want some opinions. Do you think it's natural? Thanks in advance! N. #1. #2 #3 Report this Post to the Staff

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 01:19 am I say they are natural, nothing comes to mind to why would someone try to artificially tone Jefferson nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 04:48 am Looks natural to me. Nickels tone a nice gold or blue. Although,IMHO this kind of toning does not add any eye appeal. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 10:37 am Looks good to me. Remember, all toning is a natural process. The question you should be asking is how much help (if any) did someone intentionally give it and will the market find it appealing.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 12:37 pm There is no such thing as "natural toning". Toning is either market acceptable or not. In this case, that gold toning is normal for nickels and completely market acceptable. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

The end coins that touch the cap can get some interesting toning. I find this toning pleasant. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 4:14 pm Neither "Natural Toning" nor "Artificial Toning" are an accurate way to answer the question you should be asking, which is if the toning is market acceptable or not.

The source of ANY toning is completely irrelevant. You'll drive yourself batty trying to figure it out the source - it's an exercise of futility. The endless internet debates I've seen over the past 20 years are ridiculous. NONE of it matters because it boils down to this one simple principle. Lincoln Cent Lover!

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 07/21/2022 11:44 pm I should add - I have a few nickels in mint plastic that have acquired this gold toning. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
