thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 11:13 pm and as a side note, examine some Canadian 1944 and 1945 steel 5 cent coins. they quite often have strong roller line marks and since the dies were over used they have die ware and stuff, so when you find a good example, it is a good look at something similar to Cascade's dime.

Toning IS the result of chemical reactions on the surface of a coin for sure. Chemically assisted toning is where a substance is deliberately introduced to a coin to accelerate this process. Chemically assisted or "AT" coins are quite easily spotted because of their "Unnatural" colour or "Look" and sometimes there are residual affects on a coin not unlike this where a droplet of the chemical has been left on the coin and leaves what looks like a "Watermark" on the coin.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 11:30 pm No trout. That spot was a piece of foreign substance on the coin before it started to tone. Sheesh. Is this toning 101 or what. I thought you had more experience in this arena. Report this Post to the Staff

twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 06:56 am Speaking of toning 101, here's a pretty great article on toning--it's long and you have to scroll down past the pictures, but if you love toned coins it's well worth reading. http://www.jhonecash.com/coins/tonedmorgans.asp Report this Post to the Staff
trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 07:07 am @ Cascade I think we will always both disagree on some things and that is how it should be, If we all held the same views and opinions this hobby would be pretty Mundane. At the end of the day we are both very passionate about our hobby and that is what is the most important thing here and I do so enjoy our little debates that we tend to have from time to time Stay well my friend and may the gods look down on you favourably Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 12:18 pm The reason for my question about the original packaging is I was thinking the spot on the quarter was due to a pin hole in the cello, kind of like the effect you get with the cardboard 2x2's when you get a pin hole in the mylar window. (not trying to add fuel to the colorful flames) Report this Post to the Staff
