When first minted, silver coins have a bright silvery-white surface. Over a period of time, and under certain conditions Silver pieces start exhibiting some very beautiful multi-colored iridescent hues. Beginners sometimes think that "brilliant is best" but a lot of the time they end up with a dipped or cleaned coin lowering it's value. Experienced collectors will often prefer attractively TONED coins, not only do they display a unique look and feel, but? There have increased assurances that NO cleaning has hampered with the coins value! He actually is selling one that made it into a PCGS holder swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 05/31/2011 10:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 12:30 am The title had me excited until I saw the post :( Sharp - Yes, he used chemicals. And destroyed their value. Except for some reason people still pay premiums and he has 100% feedback. Report this Post to the Staff
schnauzer Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 06/01/2011 12:06 pm I don't think that's a PCGS holder. It says something on it like The Denver Mint. Seller used to sell silver eagles, now it's "toned" Morgans. Wow. Report this Post to the Staff

Mikecouil Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/04/2011 12:47 am This is something I could have easily fell for having nearly no knowledge that toning is that easy to fake. I'm not a fan of toned coins to begin with so fortunately I haven't fell for anything like that yet. Report this Post to the Staff
