Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 08/12/2024 12:19 am I ran across a neat looking nickel on ebay today, and I was tempted to buy it. Concentric rainbow toning and some mottling, overall a visually interesting coin. Then I looked at the seller's other nickels and coins. They seem to be offering quite a number of toned nickels, silver dimes, silver quarters. Is that normal? I know that some dealers favor toned coins because they sell. I also know that some folks artificially tone coins. Is it plausible that a batch of vintage coins from the same album would have all toned in a similar way? https://www.ebay.com/str/brisstuff Report this Post to the Staff

Most collectors though say toned is toned,if it looks good to your eye then collect it.Keep in mind though that if you try to sell a toned coin you will have to find a collector who has a similar eye to you.

Yes, they could as they were all exposed to the same environment. No guarantees though.

Some coins will tone more strongly than others. That said, toning from an old album can be quite striking. Report this Post to the Staff
