Which toner do you prefer?

Which toner do you prefer? The first or second example?

Technical grades? Eye appeal?

coinguy1989 · March 31, 2013 2:20PM

Not to be rude, but I don't like either of them, and I dislike them equally. They look like 64s to me; poor luster and weak strike, especially on the one on the left.

cameron12x · March 31, 2013 2:24PM

Not too worry... I understand how subjective this can be and everyone has their own taste for toners. Thanks for your honesty!

2nd does more for me

Wabbit2313 · March 31, 2013 2:37PM

I like the color of the second better, but they sure do not look uncirculated. How can they be with a big hole where the date used to be???

coinsarefun · March 31, 2013 3:07PM

The second one.

SoCalBigMark · March 31, 2013 3:09PM

What Stefmeister said.

OriginalDan · March 31, 2013 3:16PM

I like the first. The second almost looks like toning you'd find on copper.

Bochiman · March 31, 2013 3:35PM

The date was edited out of the pic for a "which toner do you prefer?"???

Ummmm....I like the full HP OEM toner myself, rather than the generic.

Justlooking · March 31, 2013 6:33PM

I like the first one.

cameron12x · March 31, 2013 10:12PM

Just trying to get a handle on what folks like or dislike in terms of toning.

The coin on the left is a PCGS MS-64 and the coin on the right is a NGC MS-62 CAC.

More to come...

right

#2

That's an awfully late die state if the first coin is MS 64. I like the look of the toning on the left as "crud" is concerned. As to eye appeal, it's the coin on the right.

chumley · March 31, 2013 11:51PM

door number 2 please

coinbuf · April 1, 2013 1:45AM

Neither for me

SkyMan · April 1, 2013 1:48AM

The second.

cameron12x · April 1, 2013 1:51AM

Thanks everyone for your responses...

Feel free to post your own examples now. I'm trying to get a feel for what others like and which of those rings a chord with me.

CoinZip · April 1, 2013 2:01AM

I prefer the Album or Bullseye type toning, where the tone starts on the rim and works its way toward the center

coinsarefun · April 1, 2013 2:01AM

For the 1921 year I always liked these

Here are some others I have owned and always enjoyed the toning

GeorgeKellogg · April 1, 2013 2:03AM

It's a close call, but I like number one better...

cameron12x · April 1, 2013 2:18AM

Thanks everyone for your responses... much appreciated!

Feel free to also post some of your own examples now.

#2 looks good to me.

WingedLiberty1957 · April 1, 2013 2:52AM

#2 (by a mile for me)

better color (green/red is much better than yellow), smoother transitions (less chop), and fewer dark blotches/spots

Kyle · April 1, 2013 4:02AM

The second coin.

I don't find the toning on the first coin attractive.

ricko · April 1, 2013 6:47AM

Neither one...tarnish is not my preference...Cheers, RickO

crazyhounddog · April 1, 2013 9:07AM

The one on the right. I like that one the best....CHD

donzme · April 1, 2013 11:03PM

I like the one on the left, as it seems to have underlying luster.

TwoSides2aCoin · April 1, 2013 11:10PM

<< <i>Neither one...tarnish is not my preference...Cheers, RickO >>

I love the consistency.

... and your "down to the nitty gritty" responses

DIMEMAN · April 1, 2013 11:38PM

Not to be rude, but I like Stefie's better.

The one on the left must be an "O" mint while the one on the right must be an "S" mint.

SeattleSlammer · April 4, 2013 8:46AM

Left!

Constantine · April 4, 2013 8:52AM

I like #2 due to the right side flash of color.

HighRelief · April 4, 2013 9:38AM

I like the looks of the left

Rollerman · April 5, 2013 2:00AM

I thought the same thing went I first looked at them. I like the toning on the righthand side the best. It looks like it might be just about evenly split. A poll would have been interesting and I'm too lazy to recap the replies myself!

Best wishes,
Pete
