how much toning do you like on a coin

Cam40

i like toning thats mainly around the edges of the coin with a mostly white center.

you?

It depends on the toning... and the coin.

Some coins look awesome when fully toned, some look better with only some toning- some of it also has to do with the luster on the coin, and its relief.

To sum up my answer, I'll tell you if I like it when I see it...

I dont much care how much toning there is as long as it is colorful and the luster shows through.

Just like this one.

Jeremy,

Not if I can help it. My quality coins don't have the corrosion! And yes, I do own a few coins that have some corrosion. None Here!

If you are taking orders, then I would like all the colors in the rainbow in an arch shape

I like pastel toning on coins with flash and luster. Dark toning that obscures the luster doesn't excite me. I do understand why some have other preferences.

I like some around the edges as long as it's colorful. I don't like black on silver coins!!

I don't mind light toning of almost any color.

None! I hate toning.
Toning is evil IMO.
Nothing like a frosty lusterous solid white Morgan!

I like any toning just as long as it accentuates a coin's eye appeal. Some toning is distacting. A dipped and retoned coin is a sad story all together.

Here's an example of toning that I really like.

Baley

Light, symmetrical, peripheral and concentric circle rim toning is my favorite.

Not a big fan of dark, blotchy, or uneven toning.

Uncs and AUs I like blast white or with a little gold around the rim. On circs I like the toning to show off the design.

Much like people, judging a coin based on colour is just plain wrong. Brown coins and white coins should be able to live in perfect harmony and there should be no discrimination of those 'rainbow' coins either, what your preference is is nobody's business.

Thank you, Darkhorse, for sharing your feelings. I just thought if more people knew my desires, someone might be willing to satisfy my lust.

Yeah. What he said.

Tough question for some many toning types to like. But just to name one though, I like alittle bit of bag crescent toning on bright white morgans. You get the tonehaters original blast white look as right off the mint at the same time giving the tonelover a dash of color.
Since the big bucks go to the full vibrant bag toners there is nothing in it for the ATing ba*&ards..yet. so you know..oops 99.9% sure its NT.

That's a beautiful coin, islemangu. I have an AU 1825 half that's toned similarly. It's one of my favorite coins. I guess I shouldn't say that I always prefer blast whites.

mercurynut

Zero ... Blast white for me if they are available.

I'm with cosmos66, I want to see some luster through the toning. It the toning has progressed to the point where the coin has little or none of its original mint luster I'm not very interested (unless it's somewhat of a rarity).
