    I love gold toning. Especially delicate, attractive, original, ubiquitous, subdued, desirable, misty, elaborate gold toning. That's the best.

    Well, I like it too, but only on state quarters. But only if it doesn't clash with the colorization.

    AND if its effervescence transcends description.

    THEN it IS good.

    I paint the quarters myself. Why pay more for the pre-painted ones?

    You've got it wrong. The correct adjectival description is delicate hints of champagne. LOL.

    I like it, on nickels.

    It's funny. Gold toning used to be popular. Of course it was the first step after had been dipped, but it was still attractive enough to get some dealers emphasize it.
