A little streaky on this 16-P:
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
I call this tiger stripes!
Not from toning, of course.

Large Stripes.
For some reason, some 1960 P mint silver coins develope stripes. The stripes will only develop on one side of the coin, either the obverse or reverse side depending on the coin. No one is exactly sure why these stripes develope, but the best explanation I've heard is that it might have to do with the rolling process. 1959 P mint coins sometimes also develope stripes, but much less frequently than 1960, and, for whatever reason, the stripes are spaced further apart.
Of course, the coin and the stripes can also tone up QUITE nicely...

Maybe rubber band?
Hopefully this qualifies as a stripe! Sold raw to the individual who submitted it to PCGS, MS67.
@OwenSeymour... That reverse is weird... have not seen that pattern before....I have no doubt it is AT (accelerated tarnish).... but no idea how it was produced. Cheers, RickO
Cool thread!

In the late 1830's the Mint was having significant problems with their reducing rollers. As a result many planchets were severely scraped with parallel lines that sometimes were not removed during striking. Here's one example. (Again, not from toning but fun stripes nonetheless.)

Haha that's fine, I'm going to agree with and trust PCGS on the grade
Doesn't really make sense. Heat alone won't tone a coin. And if someone could produce those colors with an oven they'd surely be a millionaire in no time lol.
@OwenSeymour ....Really? How many silver coins have you heated in an oven? Heat accelerates the process...
Cheers, RickO
These all have stripes on the obverse.

Got so tired of people saying heat alone tones coins I decided to prove it wrong by tossing a banged up eagle in the bottom my oven lol. It's been in there every time I cook for a few months and needless to say it hasn't changed a bit.
Of course it accelerates the process if other neccescary factors are included, but all I'm saying is that the heat alone produced by a normal kitchen oven won't tone coins.
@messydesk those Lincolns are awesome. The third one looks like it has the word coin toned on it

I hate to break it to you but like 95% of those Silver Eagles with crazy toning are just artificially manipulated or accelerated. I'm not sure why they get certified at all.

I'll have to include myself in that group of people. It is simply not plausible that such toning could naturally occur, and it has the patterns of the rack (or whatever it was placed on - chemicals could have been used if not or in addition to heat). Even if it didn't have the patterns the colors just wouldn't naturally occur on silver.
However, to each his own. If that's the sort of thing you are into collecting then go for it.

37-S, PCGS 65 (reverse is the same color but not streaked.)
To each his own. Smile and be happy!!
