Spence Moderator United States 34415 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 07:40 am Unusual and neat to look at, but surface toning generally doesn't add to the numismatic value of a coin.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 08:03 am Looks interesting but posted photos are a bit too soft (enlargements of low resolution pics?) to get a strong feel for the coin. Toning is the result of the coin's surface reacting to environmental agents. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96348 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 09:17 am the toning could be artificial as well, through careful heating and cooling of the coin. Collecting since 1972.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 12:34 pm to the CCF! It could have gone through the wash in someone's pocket. Copper can react with bleach and detergents and tone to pink, blue, purple and green hues. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
