Lincoln Lovers - Need Some Advise on Toning Copper

TheRock

I have a 1960 PR68 DCAM PCGS in an old GREEN holder. While looking at it today, I noticed that both the Obverse and Reverse have started to get some RAINBOW toning on the rim. This is NOT CARBON spots, only toning thank God. I'm not real big into toning on my Lincolns, so a couple of questions?

1. Is there even a way to get rid of the toning on a Copper coin once it's started.
2. If the toning can be removed, do you think that if it is sent back to PCGS, they would clean it under the PCGS Guarantee?

And this is a bad thing?

















PS: You're sure it wasn't there before, and you just didn't notice it?

Will the toning just continue over the entire coin? I know it is 45 years old already, but what will happen in the next 10?

I guess the real question is, will the value of the coin go DOWN because of the toning?

Yes, and I'll buy it from you today for $25.00.

I kind of figured you would chime in sooner or later TPN. LOL

However, the questions and answers are very valid to me. Especially the VALUE question !!!!!!!!!!

There's really only one really acceptable way to get rid of this kind of toning.

It would require a decision on your part, that i think should be quite easy for you to do.

Remember SS, I'm right on your heels buddy. LOL

Once the toning hits the Cameo Devices it could downgrade the coin from a DCAM to a CAM. You could send it in now for a grade review and a reholder...


Oh BTW, I'll give you $35.89 for it!!!

Yep, I see you've added a couple more 70's

Once you get the blanks filled in with DCAM's i'm sure you'll pass me up

That could be a while my friend. These last (3) are killing me.
