Color for the weekend? Reluctant toner owners report.

Weiss

I've never been a fan of toners and the hype surrounding them. You don't freak out at the cheese on top of the pizza or the foam on your cappuccino, do you?

But I stopped by the B&M yesterday with money burning a hole in my pocket and did a little shopping spree. When the dust settled, I found myself with this among others...

SkyMan

Huh! What ancient country did that come from?

I like how it looks!

I agree...tarnish does not attract me at all...just an over inflated method of selling environmentally damaged coins...and also the impetus for a major
segment of coin doctoring. Cheers, RickO

The "toned" coins I've seen look black in hand. You have to tilt them at the precise angle at the vernal equinox while standing on your head to see anything close to the colors in the juiced photos.

Now crust, I like.

An extinguished sulphur candle can do wonders for a silver coin. Or not.

That's a very pretty coin!

So, if you're not a fan toning due to hype, etc. where you able to buy this piece for very little premium?

are you gunna crack and dip it to re-sterilize the surface as conservation can be your friend

truly to each their own
myself
i love a colorful patina on coins and statues
i can't imagine a remington bronze without the brown & green hues

that's a sweet example of a morgan too
hopefully you got a good price on her too

Ah the toner haters/trolls waste no time showing up in yet another thread about toners.

By all means, dip the protective patina off that coin. Expose the raw coin to the elements so more "damage" can be done. Absolutely brilliant. And some of you pretend to be such experts? Incredible.

There is a reason why the greatest collections of all time are loaded top to bottom with toned coins of one sort or another. But I'm sure the haters here know better than the paragons of our hobby.

Doesn't really matter to me. I'll keep enjoying collecting what I like, no matter how much idiotic venom the haters spew around here.

I can't tell for certain what kind of premium it was. Similar toned pieces seem to be about what I paid for it.

It is interesting that you picked up a coin that you otherwise would have avoided. What does the reverse look like?

I don't see any haters posting here except you. Please tell us how you really feel about freedom of expression in a public forum.

Some posters have written their opinion to which is their right as is yours, but you are the only hater in this thread so far. Myself I'm also not a fan of toning, not because it cannot be attractive but rather for the reasons that Ricko pointed out "just an over inflated method of selling environmentally damaged coins...and also the impetus for a major
segment of coin doctoring".
