Interesting Toning on a Kennedy Half....just for Russ

kryptonitecomics

This coin is really pretty amazing in hand as the obverse toning while subtle is quite attractive.........the reverse may not be for everyone since the toning is a little thicker with autumn colors then most folks are used to

But it is more liquid in hand and not as crusty as the photo's might lead on........

Really tough to find Kennedy's with vibrant colors as most collectors will attest to and this one has an interesting toning pattern since just about Half of the Reverse is toned while the other have isn't...? I can only assume that it was housed in some type of album where the coin is pushed in but it doesn't have a complete back....similar to tab toning. I am hoping the Russ has encountered something like this in the past and can shed some light on the possible storage method

Reminds me of a Washington quarter I had.



No clue what caused it.

I have a Franklin half with similar toning, however, I thought it was AT and when it went into acetone some of the colors stayed, the others fell off and left a dead grey spot. Though both of these coins look more original than my own.

Interesting and beautiful piece,Shane. I wonder if maybe it was in an album but was tilted so somehow the toning progression was focused on that side? Or maybe it was in an envelope and part of the coin was covered with,er,something?

Anyhow nice piece!
