I purchased this quarter recently to upgrade my existing 1835. I assume the toning is "natural", but am interested to hear from anyone who might educate me otherwise.

Nice coin...and to answer your question, the tarnish appears natural...Cheers, RickO
I believe I’ve seen this one in hand at the ANA? and thought it had a very nice, natural look. Great quarter newp.
Yes, NT, however secondary in nature.
Skillfully dipped long ago and entirely kosher secondary toning colors and patterns. I am not in love with the shadings on the reverse. A minute two degree shift in the angle of light capture and I might not be as discouraged about stickering by the flatness of the reflectivity under some of the coloration.
I suspect it is closer to 66 than 58 and, even though the frost has a less reflective granular (rather than satin) texture, that it will dip out well enough that it would have loads of skin worth stickering
I state these as reservations because I can't grade (that well) from pictures and have a sense I'm looking at a very nice coin
If you're referring to the blue toning I have several CBQs with the same toning
Proof Buffalo Registry Set
Capped Bust Quarters Registry Set
Proof Walking Liberty Halves Registry Set
@Eagleguy - that's satin skin with higher-intensity reflectivity characteristics. Both are CBQ's with blue toning and yet are apples and oranges in this particular technical analysis..
Yours came from "fresher" dies that produce more sex appeal and appears to "not suck that much" either.
That is an exquisite example of a tough type. Congratulations.

The color(toning) looks granule like it was applied with a spatula.
Is that common?
