I look at toning as "nature's paint brush". Sometimes nature works wonders and other times it is like a class 5 hurricane. To each his own.

I own some nicely toned IKE's and some of my Lincolns have a beautiful rainbow RB look. Actually, I would rather have a nice toned Lincoln RB high luster than one with a MS64RD dull looking surface.

But one thing is for sure...natural toning is head and shoulders above artifical toning. It is the character that brings these premiums.

I don't even like coins or tokens that are Uncirculated. I'd rather have them circulated and toned--they did what they were suppose to do. Better yet toned, circulated, and with a die crack or a Cud on it

I have to agree with most of you and thats, to each his own. I like a nice looking toned, but on the other hand that blast white Morgan is a beautiful piece of art.

Why not both on the same coin...LOL

Toned-Coins-Or--Not-Toned.

Here is a Carson city in the original govt case. The front is white, and the back is a beautiful rainbow of color. (The pic does not show the color variation very well.) This is one of the coins that got in the case that just had "Silver Dollar" instead of "Uncirculated Silver Dollar" because of the toning on the reverse.
