Toning question

I was wondering if a circulated coin can tone it's a F-VF barber dime.

  • Any coin can tone but the toning on circulated coins will be more subdued especially on lower grade coins because of a lack of luster.

    I have two very nicely toned (rainbowish) mercs that are in F/VF condition. I also have a VF/XF condition German (nazi) 5 mark that has nice rainbow toning on one portion of the rim.

    Yes, I have some Mercury dimes that were in a Whitman folder for over 25 yrs. and they are dark toned with rainbow sheens, the best one grades VF.
