Your thoughts on the textile toning on this Lincoln Cent

Hi, Bought this from a fellow forum member. Do you think it will slab?

That's pretty darn cooooool ~ (but, I know nothing about plastic)

Looks like it might have been pushed into an old cardboard album such as the Whitman albums. It definitely is not textile toning, but looks like it might have been caused by the residual glues left in cardboard albums or from a US double Mint Set.

That is ubber cool

Hey! That's really neat! Whenever I see a reference to "textile" toning, I assume they really mean "tactile" toning but are a little confused.

Now that is closer to real "textile" toning (whatever that is) and yes, I think it will slab.

Very cool!

Hmmmm, why? I mean, it's a pretty coin with those marks on the reverse (prob not textile) but
is it worth getting slabbed?
Each to his own!

I think you are right about that. Does look cool anyway. One miht say, the coin was improved.

Thanks for the observations. I was pretty sure its NT, but not exactly sure how it was created.

Real textile toning is the pattern of dots produced on Morgan dollars when they touched the canvas bags they were stored in for decades. The silver dollars that exhibit textile toning were stored in vaults and were not moved a fraction of an inch for many, many years. I don't have a photo handy but I'm sure someone here can provide a photo of real textile toning.

Tactile relates to the sense of touch. Tactile toning would be toning that you can feel which seems like a confusion of senses.

The Lincoln cent in the original post does remind me of the security pattern printed on the inside of some envelopes...

i would not get that coin slabbed. it is so common.

but i do think it is a winner for an album! say no to plastic on such
common coins.

nice coin!

Looks like you pulled it from the vest pocket of my father's old herringbone suit.

It'll slab all right, but I wouldn't slab it.
