I'd describe that toning as "thin." Pass on all of these.

Dont get me wrong. I dont want my entire collection to be toned coins. But do I want examples that I like? You betcha. I have a beautifully toned Morgan that was purposefully toned. My wife snagged one from the same guy on ebay that makes mine look plain.

As for damaged... I can see the point. I dont agree across the board, but some of them if the person is overzealous, then yeah, they are damaged.

OK, I HAVE to go try this now. LOL

I just want to make sure I understand this. You take a 1963 Jefferson nickel worth about 5 cents and put it in the oven for a couple of hours and then when it turns colors you can sell it for $10? And people buy these? Um... not a bad little business plan.

Yes, there are alot of collectors of "toned" coins, natural or otherwise. As I have to agree, they are very interesting looking and I like to keep a few as oddities, and they will bring a little premium over regular book price because of this usually, to the right person that is.
