I was sniped on this Washington, but what do you think of the toning?

I'm sorry I didn't get this one:

1947 25 C MS66

What do you suppose caused it to tone that way?

Not sure what causes it to tone that way but I'm not a big fan of that kind of toning.

Pretty. I've got a red/green washington, but the colors aren't as rich as that.

While I certainly can't be sure on that coin, that sort of toning is common in coins left wrapped in tissue paper.

Perhaps a stack of them with that obverse against the paper and the reverse against another quarter.

You can hasten the effect by placing the tissue wrapped coins on a south facing windowsill. I've seen that depth of color appear in less than a year on a windowsill, if stashed away in a drawer or closet, it could well take years. Given the reverse also has a bit of the same, perhaps a few of them loosely rolled and stuck away in a drawer.

OTOH, who really knows about that particular one.
