alliegirl Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/03/2006 2:53 pm I was just taking pictures of some of my quarters, and was curious about the irridescence I can see when I tip it back and forth. Does it make it less valuable, more desireable, or doesn't it matter. Thanks for looking!

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/03/2006 3:32 pm The iridesence you are seeing is just the silver toning. Silver can tone just about any color from a light golden yellow to black and anything in between. Really flashy toning (rainbow colors) can command a premium on mint state coins but mild toning on circulated coins like your quarter doesn't do anything to the value. P.S. I am really jealous of your 1955 DD cent, it is a beauty Edited by biokemist6 04/03/2006 3:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I said it was an AG3 IMHO [:p] Yep, I have a tendency to get too huried sometimes. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 04/18/2006 09:09 am Hey Dewey, I fixed your post so that your reply was out of the quoted section. I think the coin is in G4 condition, but I think the yellowing may be PVC residue instead of toning. In the first pic, especially, it looks more like residue on the coin than toning.
