Oh, absolutely. The news that coins within a slab can be artificially toned, even if it's only rattlers, should be shouted from the rooftops. It ought to be on the front page of Coin World.

Then again, in my world, only a fool buys a coin just for the toning, knowing that everyone and their brother is trying to artificially tone coins.

Bryan, speaking of toning, did you notice the reverse of one of the GSA's I sent you. Must have been an end roll, and if you notice the holder, it does not say "uncirculated" even thought it is. This I was told was because it had toning on it. That is the way they labeled them back during GSA packaging, even if it was only toning. it would not get the "uncirculated" label.

I am curious as to what they will grade that one....

morganman, to tell you the truth I have opened the package and took the check out and then closed the box back up so they wouldn't get mixed up until time to ship them out, so I havent even looked at the coins what so ever. I will look at them when I am getting ready to box them up and I will label them so I will know who's is who's. I did get a email from Margaret that said they sent their coin and it should be here soon, so these will definately go out asap. I may be able to get them out before Monday if it gets here before then. I will keep everyone informed of when that happens
