End Roll Toning?

ClarkOfKent

I saw this coin on eBay, advertised as "end roll toning". I thought that should mean that one side is toned, and the other wasn't because it was not exposed.

Educate me, please!

A one-coin roll... DUH!

PS- I wanna know the seller's explanation!

It's not really unusual to find coins that have been stored in a roll to have toning on both sides. They don't even have to be the end coins of the roll, but it helps. This is normally called end-roll toning, as in this case, but I think of it as roll toning. The sulfer from the paper can creep in, over time, and effect both sides of the coin. Usually, the end coin of the roll has darker toning on one side, but this isn't always the case as I have seen original rolls with some toning on both sides of the coins. I also don't know for certain if this coin toned because it was in a roll or for some other reason.

Tom,

Thanks for the opinion. I kinda like the way it looks, myself.

I do too, Clark.
