Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 5:12 pm Hello Folks, I am assuming rainbow toning is probably a really subjective topic but curious your thoughts. Does it appear natural? Do you love or hate them? Thanks for the feedback! Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 6:44 pm @mey, you are right that toning is a divisive issue, but for sure some folks like their toners. Normally I think copper mostly just turns from red to brown, whereas silver is more likely to have the whole rainbow thing. I could be wrong though as I'm generally not one of the pro-toning folks.

Meyerstone Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 7:16 pm Yeah, I am drawn to these unique ones but I can also see how it is impossible to know if it is natural which is kind of a bummer. Thanks to you both for the input! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 7:25 pm The term "Rainbow Toning" should really only apply to uncirculated coins. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 02/18/2023 8:47 pm For fun, suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone. Might clear away most/some of the gunk that appears on the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
