I would have to disagree with ya there RickO, At least with the "as they were meant to be" part.
All silver and copper coins will tone and are suppose to tone over time (good Ol' mother nature at her best ) So original coins should have some original skin or patina to them, and the blast white century old coins are AT in my opinion

Underwear; bar soap; iPhones, and sheets should be white.
Coins should be colorful.

Colorful platinum wouldn't be a good thing...How about a colorful background?

Given time, they all will tone properly, maybe not in our life time.

I don't normally quote pictures- in 900 posts this will be the first time. But, that coin....WOW. I've never seen a Barber coin look that good before.

I definately think I am more partial to the white coins more so than the colored ones. Or maybe I just can't afford colored ones yet...
